How to Make Easy Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip

What You’ll Need

Before we start, here’s the lineup of ingredients that make this dip a hit. I’ve included a few tips so you can customize it to your taste or pantry staples:

• 2 cups Parmesan cheese, shredded: You can do half Parmesan and half Mozzarella for a gooier, meltier texture.
• 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach: Make sure to thaw and drain it to avoid a watery dip. Want to go fresh? Cook down about 1 pound of fresh spinach until it reduces to 10 ounces.
• 14 ounces artichoke hearts: I love using jarred artichokes for convenience, but you can swap in 5-6 medium frozen artichoke hearts (thawed and drained).
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic: Fresh is best but jarred works too. Here’s how to mince garlic if you’re new to it.
• ⅔ cup sour cream: Greek yogurt also works beautifully if you want a lighter option.
• 8 ounces cream cheese: Full-fat gives the creamiest texture, but reduced-fat will work in a pinch.
• ⅓ cup mayonnaise: Adds a depth of flavor to the dip—it’s a must-include!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s break this down into super simple steps. Trust me, this is as hassle-free as it gets—and the results are pure magic!

1. Mix your ingredients: Grab a medium-sized bowl and toss in 2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese, thawed-and-drained spinach, and drained artichoke hearts. Add in the minced garlic, sour cream, cream cheese, and mayo. Stir well to combine!
2. Start melting: Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized saucepan and warm it over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally until everything melts together into a creamy, dreamy dip.
3. Slow cook it to perfection: Pour the melted mixture into your crockpot. Cook on High for 1-2 hours or on Low for 3-4 hours. If you’re serving this at a party, switch to the warm setting to keep the dip perfectly gooey and ready to eat.
4. Season and serve: Taste the dip and add salt or pepper if needed. Serve with chips, crackers, or veggies for dipping—and watch it disappear!

Jake’s Tips for Perfect Easy Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip

Here are my top tips to guarantee your dip turns out amazing every single time:

• Drain thoroughly: Water from thawed spinach or artichokes can make the dip watery. Use paper towels or a kitchen cloth to squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
• Make it spicy: Love a little kick? Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
• Prep ahead: You can mix all the ingredients and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just pop it all into the crockpot when you’re ready to cook.
• Switch up the cheese: For an ultra-cheesy pull, mix in a handful of shredded Mozzarella or Monterey Jack.
