Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip

This hot Spinach Artichoke Dip is rich, creamy, and cheesy, brimming with chopped artichokes, swirls of spinach, and gooey melted cheese and baked in the oven to golden, bubbly perfection.

This oven-baked version is incredibly easy to make (you can even make it ahead!) with simple ingredients. Spinach artichoke dip is comforting enough for game day and elegant enough for a dinner party. It's a timeless party favorite that will never get old and is the perfect appetizer for any event!

How to Keep Spinach Artichoke Dip from Getting Watery

The trick to keeping spinach artichoke dip from getting watery is to make sure your ingredients are dry before adding. The recipe will tell you to squeeze the excess moisture from the spinach. You can also pat the artichoke dry after chopping.

Can I Use Frozen Spinach Instead of Fresh?

Absolutely! To use frozen spinach, you need 5 ounces frozen spinach. Thaw and squeeze dry. Use as directed in the recipe.

Can I Make it in the Slow Cooker?

Yes, you can. Prepare the spinach, and then add all ingredients to the slow cooker. Cook on high for 2 hours, or low for 3-4 hours. Dip is done when cheese is completely melted and bubbling. Stir well before serving.

Can I Make it Ahead of Time?

Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip can definitely be made ahead of time!

The easiest way to do this is to prepare the entire recipe, but stop before baking. Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve, up to 2 days. Then bake at 350°F for 35 minutes, or until hot and bubbly (the extra 10 minutes here will account for the dish and dip being cold from the refrigerator).

What to Serve with Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip

My favorite thing to serve with Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip is baguette pieces or crostini.

To make crostini, slice up baguette into ½-inch slices. Place the rounds on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Bake in 400°F oven until the bread just starts to get a nice golden brown.

You can also serve with

  • Garlic bread
  • Butter crackers
  • Tortilla chips
  • Pretzels or pretzel chips
  • Soft baked pretzels

Notes

  • Spinach - You can also use 5 ounces frozen spinach. Thaw and squeeze out moisture before use.
  • Artichoke - You can use marinated or unmarinated. I usually use marinated as it adds a little extra flavor.
  • Garlic - This recipe calls for garlic powder instead of fresh garlic because since the recipe is so quick, it helps the flavor meld better into the dip using the powder.
  • Make Ahead - Prepare dip according to recipe instructions. Before baking, cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 days. When ready, uncover and bake according to recipe instructions, adding an extra 10 minutes to account for the cold dish.
  • Storage - Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 5 days. Reheat leftovers in individual portions in the microwave.
  • Freezing - Please note that freezing may slightly alter the texture. To freeze, prepare the dip according to recipe instructions. Before baking, cover tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. When ready, thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Uncover and bake according to recipe instructions, adding an extra 10 minutes to account for the cold dish.
