Whether it’s the Super Bowl or a potluck, you know I’m bringing a crockpot full of spinach artichoke dip. It’s a quick and easy appetizer that my whole family loves, and my slow cooker makes it so easy. Filled with fresh spinach, chopped artichokes, and a blend of cheeses, this dip is so warm and comforting. My crockpot keeps it warm for hours so you always get the perfect melty bite!
I love a classic baked spinach artichoke dip , but putting it in my slow cooker makes my life so much easier. This crockpot spinach artichoke dip is a simple toss-and-go recipe that saves me so much time and energy. It gets so nice and creamy in the crockpot thanks to a tangy mixture cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise.
What’s in This Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe?
- Baby Spinach: Adds bulk, color, and texture to the dip. I prefer fresh spinach, but if you only have frozen on hand, make sure to thaw it and wring it out thoroughly before adding it to the dip.
- Artichoke Hearts: Add a mild, earthy flavor and a great texture. I used artichoke hearts that were canned in water, but marinated also work.
- Cream Cheese: Adds creaminess, richness, and tanginess to the dip.
- Sour Cream: Enhances the tangy flavor of the dip and helps keep it thick.
- Mayonnaise : Enhances the creamy texture of the dip.
- Cheese: A combination of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses make this dip super melty, creamy, and cheesy!
- Green Onions: Add a pop of color and fresh onion flavor.
- Garlic: Enhances the savory flavor of the dip. I added quite a bit, but you can scale back if you’re sensitive to it.
- Salt + Pepper: Enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
Tips for Success
- You can use plain Greek yogurt in place of either the sour cream or the mayonnaise if you’re missing one of those ingredients.
- For a little kick, I like to add a few dashes of my favorite hot sauce.
- I like to use the “keep warm” setting on my crockpot to keep this dip warm while serving.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover crockpot spinach artichoke dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in the microwave in 30-second increments or in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
Serving Suggestions
This crockpot spinach artichoke dip wouldn’t be complete without something to dip in it. I like pita chips, tortilla chips , crackers, or wonton chips best. Some naan bread or toasted skillet bread would also work great.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
