Description
This Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip is a warm, cheesy, and crowd-pleasing appetizer made with tender spinach, artichoke hearts, and a rich blend of cheeses, all slow-cooked to melty perfection.
Ingredients
24 oz frozen spinach, thawed and well drained
30 oz artichoke hearts, quartered and drained
½ cup white or yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
8 oz fresh mozzarella (optional)
For the Crostini:
1 French baguette, sliced into ½‑inch pieces
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp fine sea salt
2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add the thawed and drained spinach and artichoke hearts into the crockpot.
- Stir in the diced onion, minced garlic, sour cream, and mayonnaise until well combined.
- Add the softened cream cheese, Parmesan, and shredded mozzarella, and stir to blend all ingredients.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on medium for about 1½ to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the dip is hot, melted, and bubbly.
- While the dip cooks, arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 350 °F (175 °C) for 10–15 minutes until golden and crisp.
- If using fresh mozzarella, tear and scatter it over the hot dip, cover, and cook for another 20–30 minutes until melted.
- Serve the dip warm with crostini, chips, or fresh-cut veggies.
Notes
Drain the spinach thoroughly to avoid a watery dip.
Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version.
Add red pepper flakes or jalapeño for a spicier dip.
Stir in chopped water chestnuts for extra crunch.
Can be baked in the oven if short on time.
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently in the microwave or over low heat on the stovetop, adding milk or cream if needed.
Crostini are best fresh but can be stored at room temp for 1–2 days.
