A warm, cheesy, and comforting spinach artichoke dip made easy in a slow cooker with three cheeses, fresh spinach, and artichokes. Perfect for parties or cozy nights in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 14 ounces canned or jarred artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chop the fresh spinach roughly and drain and chop the artichoke hearts. Mince garlic cloves finely.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, and 1/2 cup sour cream. Stir until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Mix in the minced garlic, 1 teaspoon onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Adjust seasoning lightly.
  4. Fold in 1 cup shredded mozzarella and 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese until the mixture looks rich and cheesy.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped spinach and artichokes, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Spread the mixture evenly in the slow cooker insert and cover with the lid.
  7. Set the slow cooker on low for 2-3 hours. Stir once halfway through cooking to blend flavors and check texture.
  8. Taste and adjust salt or pepper if needed. If the dip is too thick, stir in a splash of milk or cream to loosen it.
  9. Turn the slow cooker to warm setting to keep the dip ready for serving. Serve with tortilla chips, crusty bread, or fresh veggies.

Notes

Use dairy-free cream cheese and yogurt alternatives for dietary needs. For a lower-fat version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream and light cream cheese. Stir halfway through cooking to prevent sticking and ensure even melting. Avoid overcooking to prevent drying or cheese separation. If cooking in an oven, bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway.
