This Slow Cooker Spinach Artichoke Dip is a creamy, cheesy appetizer perfect for gatherings and parties. Made with fresh spinach, artichoke hearts, and a blend of cheeses, this warm dip is effortlessly prepared in a slow cooker, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully without any hassle.

Ingredients

Dip Ingredients

  • 1 (10-ounce) bag fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 (13-ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, chopped and drained
  • 1 (8-ounce) brick low-fat cream cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup light sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup finely-chopped white or red onion
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients. Gather all your dip ingredients and ensure the spinach is roughly chopped and artichoke hearts are drained and chopped. This preparation ensures even texture throughout the dip.
  2. Add all ingredients to the slow cooker. Place all ingredients into the bowl of a small slow cooker and toss briefly to combine, distributing the cheeses and vegetables evenly.
  3. Slow cook the dip. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 2-3 hours or on high for 1 hour, until the cheese is completely melted and the dip is hot and bubbly.
  4. Stir and season. Once cooking is complete, stir the dip thoroughly for an even consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  5. Serve warm. Transfer the dip to a serving dish if desired and serve warm alongside your choice of dippers such as crackers, bread slices, or vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • For a thicker dip, cook on low for the full 3 hours rather than just 2.
  • You can substitute plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream for a healthier option.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor, and adjust the amount based on your preference.
  • Keep the dip warm by setting the slow cooker to the 'warm' setting after cooking until serving.
  • This dip pairs well with toasted baguette slices, pita chips, or raw vegetables like carrots and celery.
