Ingredients
Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 1 (10 ounce) bag fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, roughly chopped
- 1 (8 ounce) block cream cheese, cut into cubes
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add fresh spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, cream cheese cubes, sour cream, shredded mozzarella, shredded Parmesan, minced garlic, salt, and pepper into a small crock pot. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Cook on Low: Cover the crock pot and set it to LOW heat. Let the dip cook for 2 hours total to allow the flavors to meld and cheeses to melt into a creamy consistency.
- Stir Halfway: After 1 hour, remove the lid carefully and stir the dip thoroughly to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking on the sides.
- Continue Cooking: Replace the lid and let the dip cook for an additional hour on LOW.
- Adjust Seasoning and Serve: Stir the dip again, taste it, and add extra salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm with your choice of crackers or chips.
Notes
- For a thicker dip, you can drain excess liquid from the artichokes before adding.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor, but garlic powder can be substituted if needed.
- This dip can also be prepared in an oven-safe dish baked at 350°F for 25-30 minutes if a crock pot is unavailable.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the warm, melty texture.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated before serving.
