This creamy and flavorful Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip is a perfect party appetizer that combines tender spinach, tangy artichoke hearts, and a blend of melted cheeses. It's easy to prepare in the slow cooker and is ideal for serving with chips, crackers, or sliced baguette.

Ingredients

Dip Ingredients

  • 18 oz frozen spinach, thawed and drained
  • 28 oz quartered artichoke hearts, drained (2 cans, 14 oz each)
  • 16 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a 4-quart slow cooker, add the thawed and drained spinach, quartered and drained artichoke hearts, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, and milk. Carefully stir the mixture to combine all ingredients evenly without spilling, as the slow cooker will be quite full. Season the mixture with black pepper according to your taste.
  2. Cook Dip: Place the lid securely on the slow cooker and set it to cook on high heat. Allow the dip to cook for approximately 2 hours, or until all the cheeses are fully melted and the mixture is hot and bubbly. Stir the dip once more to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated and the dip has a creamy, consistent texture.
  3. Serve: Transfer the spinach artichoke dip to a serving dish or keep it warm in the slow cooker. Serve it immediately with chips, crackers, or sliced baguette for dipping, making it an irresistible appetizer for gatherings and parties.

Notes

  • Ensure the spinach is well drained to avoid excess moisture in the dip.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic and black pepper to your preference for seasoning.
  • If the dip thickens too much upon standing, stir in a little extra milk to reach the desired consistency.
  • This dip can be kept warm in the slow cooker on the 'keep warm' setting for up to 2 hours before serving.
