This slow cooker Spinach Artichoke Dip is so creamy and gooey – you won’t be able to leave without everyone asking for the recipe. 😉
My family LOVES dips – salsas, cheesy dips, veggie dips – anything gooey and delicious is a winner in our book!
We love to use this dip on bread (I just bought a baguette from the grocery store’s bakery and sliced it to use for dipping), but it would be awesome with crackers or vegetables . . . or even eating it straight out of the crock pot with just a spoon!
How to make spinach artichoke dip in the slow cooker
Step 1: In a large bowl, mix together spinach, artichoke hearts, sour cream, mayonnaise, onion, garlic, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, and milk. Add salt and pepper as desired.
Step 2: Pour everything into a 4-quart slow cooker that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, or use a slow cooker liner. Top with cubed cream cheese.
When you first place your ingredients inside your crock pot, it’s going to seem a little dry, but I promise that it will cook up nice and gooey, just the way you want this dip to be.
Step 3: Cook on low for 3-4 hours or high for 2 – 2 1/2 hours. Stir, and keep warm until serving with your favorite crackers, chips, or vegetables.

SPINACH: Canned, fresh, or frozen?
This spinach artichoke dip recipe can be made using any kind of spinach – canned, fresh, or frozen.
However, we think it tastes best with fresh spinach.
If you used canned spinach, it will have a slightly saltier taste.
If you use frozen spinach, you will want to thaw it and drain it really well before using it.
Make spinach artichoke dip your own:
We think this recipe is pretty tasty as is, but you can make substitutions to make it lower-fat or add things in to really make it your own.
- low-fat cream cheese for regular cream cheese
- low-fat mayo or Nayonaise for regular mayo
- plain Greek yogurt for sour cream
- low-fat mozzarella cheese for full-fat mozzarella cheese
- skim milk for 2% milk
- crumbled bacon
- chopped crab
- corn
You can also double this recipe (if you’re feeding more people). We would recommend using a 6-qt slow cooker and double checking to make sure it is heated all the way through before serving.
If you are feeding a smaller crowd, you can use a 1.5-qt slow cooker and halve the recipe, but be sure to watch the cooking time, because it may not take as long to cook.
Serve artichoke dip with:
- sliced baguettes
- Ritz crackers (or your favorite crackers)
- veggies (carrots, celery, cucumbers, etc)
- Wheat Thins crackers
- cubed bread
- tortilla chips
- pita crackers
How to make spinach artichoke dip ahead of time:
To make this dip ahead of time (up to 24 hours in advance), mix all ingredients together in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until you’re ready to cook. Remove from fridge, stir, and pour into a crock pot and cook as directed.
We would not recommend freezing this dip, because frozen mayonnaise tends to separate.
