Let’s talk about party dips. You know, that one dish that disappears faster than you can say "Who wants more chips?" If there’s one dip that reigns supreme in my house, it’s spinach artichoke dip.

Creamy, cheesy, and downright addictive, it’s always a hit whether we’re hosting a game night, having friends over, or just indulging in a little midweek snack attack. And the best part? We’re making it in the slow cooker. That means minimal effort, maximum flavor, and a whole lot of hands-free cooking, because honestly, who has time to babysit the stove?

Why You’ll Love This Slow Cooker Spinach Artichoke Dip

• Effortless – Toss everything in the slow cooker, stir once, and let it work its magic.

• Crowd-Pleaser – This dip disappears in minutes. Seriously.

• Creamy & Cheesy – With cream cheese, sour cream, and mozzarella, it’s the ultimate comfort food.

• Perfect for Any Occasion – Game day, holidays, potlucks, or just because, you don’t need an excuse.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 8 oz fresh spinach

• 1 can (14 oz) artichokes

• 1 pack (8 oz) cream cheese

• 1 cup sour cream

• 1 cup mozzarella cheese

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp onion powder

• ¼ tsp salt, or to taste

How to Make Slow Cooker Spinach Artichoke Dip

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

• Chop the artichokes into small pieces so they mix evenly into the dip. No one wants to bite into a huge chunk of artichoke (or maybe they do, but balance is key!).

• Cut the cream cheese into eight smaller pieces, this helps it melt evenly without you having to do extra stirring.

Step 2: Load Up the Slow Cooker

• Add the cream cheese, chopped artichokes, sour cream, mozzarella, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt into the slow cooker.

• Place the fresh spinach on top, don’t worry, it will wilt down beautifully.

Step 3: Let It Cook

• Set the slow cooker to low and let it work its magic for about 2 hours.

• About halfway through (around the 1-hour mark), give it a good stir to help everything blend together.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!

• Once it’s creamy, melted, and delicious, serve it warm with crackers, tortilla chips, baguette slices, or even fresh veggies.

• Optional: Sprinkle a little extra mozzarella on top and let it melt for an even cheesier bite.

Pro Tips for the Best Dip Ever

Use Fresh Spinach – It might seem like a lot at first, but it cooks down significantly. If you only have frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess moisture before adding it.

Want It Extra Creamy? – Add an extra ½ cup of sour cream or a splash of heavy cream for an ultra-rich texture.

Love a Little Heat? – Stir in some red pepper flakes or a few dashes of hot sauce for a spicy kick.

Cheese It Up – While mozzarella is classic, you can swap in Monterey Jack, Parmesan, or even a little cheddar for extra depth.

Double the Batch – If you’re serving a crowd, you can easily double this recipe. Just add an extra 30 minutes to the cooking time.

Fun Variations to Try

Bacon Lover’s Dream – Stir in crispy bacon bits right before serving for a smoky, salty twist.

Mexican-Inspired – Swap mozzarella for pepper jack cheese and add a teaspoon of taco seasoning.

Greek Style – Replace mozzarella with feta cheese and add a sprinkle of oregano and lemon zest.

Vegan Version – Use dairy-free cream cheese, sour cream, and cheese substitutes, and it’s just as creamy and delicious!

Storage & Reheating Tips

Got leftovers? (Honestly, that’s rare in my house, but if you do…)

• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

• Reheat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.

• You can also warm it up on the stovetop over low heat, stirring frequently.

Whether you’re making this for a party or just an indulgent snack, this slow cooker spinach artichoke dip is a guaranteed winner. It’s creamy, cheesy, and ridiculously easy to throw together, perfect for those days when you want something delicious without spending hours in the kitchen.

So, grab your slow cooker, whip up this dip, and get ready to watch it disappear. Just don’t forget to save yourself a scoop before everyone else digs in!
