How to make spinach artichoke dip in the crock pot
Step 1: Dice up the onion and garlic, drain the artichoke hearts and chop them up, then measure out the remaining ingredients: sour cream, mayo, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and frozen spinach.
Step 2: Mix together all of the ingredients except for the cream cheese in the slow cooker.
Step 3: Once the ingredients are mixed, cut up the cream cheese into cubes and place on top of the rest of the dip.
Step 4: Cook the spinach dip on high for 1.5 hours (no need to stir). Once the 1.5 hours is up, stir it all up as the cream cheese will be nice and soft and mix right in now.
Cover and cook the spinach artichoke dip on high an additional 15 – 30 minutes, until hot and bubbly.

Can I use frozen artichokes?
I have not tried it myself. The excess water may affect the dip, but if anyone tries it please let me know!
Do use you frozen spinach or do you have to wait for it to thaw & than drain
I use frozen spinach and I do not drain it. I add it frozen
I am making this today. This looks like the best recipe I have seen. I always appreciate recipes written out in text, too, because I
use screen readers.
How many people will this serve? Will it be enough for 25 people?
If it’s the only appetizer being served I would say no. I would double it for that many people.
@Joy Shull, if I double the recipe, should I also double the cook time?
I have not doubled it to say. I would guess it would take a little longer to cook, but you would need to just keep an eye on it to see how long.
Is a 6 qt slow cooker too large?
You can make it in one that size, it will be fine.
What size crockpot did you use?
Can this be cooked on low for about 4-5 hours without stiring? I want to make it for a BBQ party but we will be gone for a time and want it done when we get back.
Can leftovers be frozen?
You should be able to for 1-2 months I would think.
Do you thaw the frozen spinach?
Nope!
I have a lot of fresh spinach. Can you substitute fresh for frozen? Same ratio?
That should work! Just use whatever ratio from frozen to fresh. You would need around 1 1/2 to 2 pounds I would think and it may cook faster since it is not frozen.
