A rich, creamy, and tangy spinach artichoke dip made effortlessly in a slow cooker, perfect for parties and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained
  • 14 oz canned artichoke hearts, chopped and drained
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream (120 ml)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (120 ml)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (50 g)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (100 g)
  • 2 fresh garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, a pinch)

Instructions

  1. Thaw the frozen spinach overnight in the fridge or quickly in the microwave. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels (about 5 minutes). Drain and chop the artichoke hearts into bite-sized pieces, then drain thoroughly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Whisk or use an electric mixer to blend until smooth and creamy (3-5 minutes).
  3. Stir in the grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix well to evenly distribute cheeses and spices (2 minutes).
  4. Fold the drained spinach and chopped artichokes into the creamy mixture until well incorporated (2 minutes).
  5. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with the lid (1 minute).
  6. Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 2 to 3 hours. Stir gently halfway through to prevent sticking and help flavors meld. The dip should be hot, bubbly, and slightly golden on top when done.
  7. Taste the dip and add more salt or pepper if needed. If too thick, stir in a tablespoon of milk or cream to loosen it up (1 minute).
  8. Serve warm with tortilla chips, sliced baguette, or fresh veggies immediately.

Notes

Drain spinach and artichokes thoroughly to avoid watery dip. Soften cream cheese fully before mixing for a smooth texture. Stir halfway through cooking to prevent sticking and curdling. If dip is too thick after cooking, add a splash of milk or cream. Fresh garlic is preferred over garlic powder for better flavor. Roasting artichokes before adding is optional for deeper flavor.
