Why You'll Love This Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip

• Easy to make. Add everything to the crockpot, stir, and let it cook.
• Creamy and cheesy. Cream cheese and sour cream make the dip rich and creamy, while Parmesan and mozzarella add lots of cheesy flavor.
• Perfect for parties. Keep it warm right in the slow cooker so guests can serve themselves throughout the party. It's equally easy, comforting, and elegant.

• Great for holidays and game day. It's an easy hot appetizer that works for just about any gathering.

Tips & Variations

• Thaw and drain the spinach well. Frozen spinach holds quite a bit of water. Thaw it completely, then squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible before adding it to the crockpot. This keeps your dip thick and creamy instead of watery.
• Use a small slow cooker. A 2 to 3-quart crockpot is ideal for this recipe. Using a crockpot that's too large can cause the dip to cook too quickly and burn around the edges.
• Chop the artichokes. Drain the artichoke hearts well and roughly chop them so you get bite-sized pieces of artichoke throughout the dip without any overly large chunks.
• Shred your own cheese. Freshly shredded Parmesan and mozzarella melt more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese, which often contains anti-caking agents.
• Add a little heat. Stir in a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a few dashes of hot sauce for a spicy spinach artichoke dip.
• Make it extra garlicky. If you're a garlic lover, increase the garlic powder slightly or add a small amount of minced fresh garlic.
• Keep it warm for serving. Once the dip is hot and creamy, turn the crockpot to WARM. Give it an occasional stir if it will be sitting out for a while.
• If the dip is too thick. Stir in a small splash of milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
• If the dip looks watery. Stir it thoroughly first, as some moisture can separate during cooking. If it's still too thin, leave the lid off briefly to allow some of the excess moisture to evaporate.

What to Serve with Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip

Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip is delicious served warm with tortilla chips, pita chips, crackers, toasted baguette slices, crostini, bread sticks, or even pieces of garlic bread. For something fresh and crunchy, serve it with vegetables such as carrots, celery, bell pepper strips, or cucumber slices.

For a party, I like to offer a combination of sturdy chips or crackers and fresh vegetables so there's something for everyone.

Can I Make Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip Ahead of Time?

Yes. You can assemble the dip ahead of time by combining the ingredients in an airtight container and refrigerating until you're ready to cook.

When you're ready to serve, transfer the mixture to your crockpot and cook as directed. Because the ingredients will be cold from the refrigerator, the dip may need a little extra time to become completely hot and melty.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover spinach artichoke dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 to 5 days.

Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm a larger amount gently on the stovetop or in the crockpot. Stir occasionally as it reheats to help the dip become smooth and creamy again.

Can You Freeze Spinach Artichoke Dip?

You can freeze spinach artichoke dip, but dairy-based dips can sometimes separate or become slightly grainy after freezing and thawing. For the best creamy texture, I recommend serving this dip fresh or storing leftovers in the refrigerator.
