How To Make Crock Pot Spinach Artichoke Dip

Prepare the vegetables: Wash the spinach and remove the stems. Chop the onion into small dice and mince the garlic.

Add to slow cooker: Add the prepared vegetables to the crock pot along with the cheeses and seasonings. Mix to fully combine and evenly distribute.

Slow cook the dip: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on HIGH for 1.5 hours or LOW for 2.5-3 hours or until the cheese is melted and the spinach has wilted into the mixture.
Stir and serve: Stir everything together to combine and serve with your favorite dipping foods!

Recipe Tips

• Chop the onion and garlic into small pieces to ensure there aren't large bites of them throughout the dip.
• Remove the woody stems from the spinach, as this could make the dip stringy.
• Make sure to drain the artichoke hearts properly to avoid a watery dip.
• If you want a thinner consistency, add more milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
• The time it takes to melt the cheese and wilt the spinach will depend on your slow cooker. Start checking it at the lower end of the time range and go from there.

Variations

• Use different greens: Instead of spinach, try using kale, arugula, or Swiss chard.
• Add protein: Add in cooked and shredded chicken or a can of drained chickpeas for a heartier dip.
• Make it spicy: Add in some red pepper flakes or diced jalapenos for a little bit of heat.
• Try different cheeses: Use all mozzarella, cheddar cheese, or a mix of your favorite shredded cheeses.
• Add other vegetables: Sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, or mushrooms would be a great addition to this delicious creamy dip.

Storage

Storing: This dip is best served immediately, but if you have any leftovers, make sure they are cooled and stored in an airtight container. It will last in the fridge for up to a week. Freezing is not recommended as the milk and cheese will de-emulsify, making it a liquidy texture.
Reheating: If you want to reheat this, add it to a pot on the stove over low heat. Stir until it's evenly heated throughout. You may need to add a splash of milk to thin it out as it reheats.
