A warm, creamy spinach and artichoke dip that comes together with very little hands-on work. Everything cooks together in the slow cooker until the cheeses melt into a smooth, savory dip. Serve it straight from the slow cooker with chips, crackers, bread, pretzels, or fresh vegetables.
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
1cuplight sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
1cupshredded Mozzarella cheese
1/2cupgrated Parmesan cheese
1/3cupfinely-chopped white or red onion
4cloves garlic, minced
1/2tspblack pepper
1/4tspfine sea salt
Instructions
Add everything to the slow cooker. Place all of the ingredients in a small slow cooker and briefly toss them together so they are distributed throughout the pot.
Cook until melted. Cover and cook on low for 2–3 hours or on high for 1 hour. The dip is ready for the next step once the cheese has completely melted.
Mix and adjust the seasoning. Stir thoroughly until the spinach, artichokes, cheeses, and remaining ingredients form an evenly combined dip. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
Serve warm. Enjoy immediately with your preferred dippers.
Notes
Recipe Notes
Slow cooker size: A small slow cooker, around 3 quarts, works well for this recipe.
Watch the cooking time: Slow cookers can vary quite a bit in temperature. Check the dip about every 30 minutes so it doesn’t overcook. Once the cheese is completely melted and the dip is slightly bubbly, it’s ready.
Drain the artichokes well: Make sure the artichoke hearts are thoroughly drained before adding them. Extra liquid can make the dip thinner than you want.
Cream cheese: Cut the cream cheese into 1-inch cubes as directed. This helps it melt and combine more evenly with the other ingredients.
Sour cream or Greek yogurt: Either option works in this recipe. Use whichever you prefer while keeping the amount at 1 cup.
Serving: This dip is best served warm. Give it a good stir just before serving and pair it with tortilla chips, crackers, toasted bread, pretzels, or fresh vegetables.
