I love a classic baked spinach artichoke dip, but putting it in my slow cooker makes my life so much easier. This crockpot spinach artichoke dip is a simple toss-and-go recipe that saves me so much time and energy. It gets so nice and creamy in the crockpot thanks to a tangy mixture cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise.
What’s in This Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe?
- Baby Spinach: Adds bulk, color, and texture to the dip. I prefer fresh spinach, but if you only have frozen on hand, make sure to thaw it and wring it out thoroughly before adding it to the dip.
- Artichoke Hearts: Add a mild, earthy flavor and a great texture. I used artichoke hearts that were canned in water, but marinated also work.
- Cream Cheese: Adds creaminess, richness, and tanginess to the dip.
- Sour Cream: Enhances the tangy flavor of the dip and helps keep it thick.
- Mayonnaise: Enhances the creamy texture of the dip.
- Cheese: A combination of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses make this dip super melty, creamy, and cheesy!
- Green Onions: Add a pop of color and fresh onion flavor.
- Garlic: Enhances the savory flavor of the dip. I added quite a bit, but you can scale back if you’re sensitive to it.
- Salt + Pepper: Enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
Tips for Success
- You can use plain Greek yogurt in place of either the sour cream or the mayonnaise if you’re missing one of those ingredients.
- For a little kick, I like to add a few dashes of my favorite hot sauce.
- I like to use the “keep warm” setting on my crockpot to keep this dip warm while serving.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover crockpot spinach artichoke dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in the microwave in 30-second increments or in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
Serving Suggestions
This crockpot spinach artichoke dip wouldn’t be complete without something to dip in it. I like pita chips, tortilla chips, crackers, or wonton chips best. Some naan bread or toasted skillet bread would also work great.
