Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened and cubed
- 1 cup (240ml) sour cream
- 1 cup (100g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup (113g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely diced (about ½ cup)
- 14 oz (396g) artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
- 10 oz (283g) frozen spinach, thawed and well-drained
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients Begin by properly draining your thawed spinach – this cannot be emphasized enough! Squeeze all excess moisture out using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, working in batches if necessary. Similarly, drain and roughly chop the artichoke hearts, ensuring no excess liquid remains.
- Step 2: Layer The Base Spray your slow cooker with non-stick spray or use a liner for easy cleanup. Cut the cream cheese into cubes and spread them evenly across the bottom of your crockpot. This creates a creamy base that will help everything melt together beautifully.
- Step 3: Add Remaining Ingredients Add the drained spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, minced garlic, and diced onion on top of the cream cheese. Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, mozzarella, sour cream, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). No need to stir yet – the slow cooking process will handle that for you.
- Step 4: Cook To Perfection Cover the crockpot and set it to low heat. Allow the mixture to cook for 2-3 hours, stirring once halfway through. You’ll know it’s ready when all cheese has completely melted and the mixture is bubbly around the edges. If the dip appears too thick, add a splash of milk and stir until you reach your desired consistency.
- Step 5: Serve And Enjoy Give your Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip a final stir before transferring to a serving bowl, or serve directly from the slow cooker (set to warm) to maintain the perfect temperature throughout your gathering. Pair with tortilla chips, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
