What I love about this dip:

  • Quick – You’ll be ready to serve this baked spinach dip in just 30 minutes!

  • Crowd Pleaser – This is guaranteed to disappear before your eyes! I never have any left, and always get so many compliments!

Ingredients Needed:

  • Artichoke Hearts: I use canned artichoke hearts out of convenience, but you could use fresh cooked artichoke hearts if you have them.
  • Frozen Spinach: thaw first, and squeeze out the excess liquid. See recipe notes for how to substitute fresh spinach.
  • Mayonnaise.
  • Sour Cream.
  • Cream Cheese: allow it to come to room temperature so it mixes in smoothly. Low fat or Neufchatel cheese would also work.
  • Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated tastes best and melts smoothly.
  • Garlic.

Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions:

To Make Ahead: Prepare the recipe through step 4 (before baking) and store it in the refrigerator for 1-2 days until ready to bake.

To Freeze: Prepare the recipe through step 4 (before baking).  Place mixture in a freezer safe container or bag and freeze for up to 2 months.  Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and return to baking dish before baking.

Recipe Variations:

  • Spinach Artichoke Dip with Fresh Spinach: Cook about 10 ounces of fresh spinach in a skillet with a little drizzle of olive oil. Once the spinach has cooked down, let it cool before squeezing the liquid out of it. I just get a big paper towel, scoop the spinach into it, and gently squeeze it over the sink.
  • Healthy Spinach Artichoke Dip: Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream and use low fat cream cheese.
  • Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip: Add everything to the slow cooker and cook on high for 2 hours. Stir well before serving.
  • Artichoke Dip without Spinach: use this Artichoke Dip recipe.

    This was easy to make and was a hit at the party I went to. I ended up make another 3 servings and freezing them. I added some black ground pepper as well. Thank you for sharing!

    This was a huge hit at my house. I added some mozzarella and used herb marinated artichokes. I also added some panko to the top and seasoned with garlic powder. Absolutely will be making this again!

    Doubled the recipe, added a can of chopped water chestnuts, extra garlic, salt and some dashes of hot sauce. I heated in the crockpot on high 1.5 hours and then turned to warm—stir about every 15 min. Delish!

  4. 5 stars
    Great recipe. Made exactly as described and it was delicious. I used marinated artichokes (Cucina and Amore brand) and that added a little extra flavor to the dip! Super simple and super easy. My kind of recipe..

  5. 5 stars
    Biggest hit at my mini Superbowl Party! Absolutely delicious! The only thing I added was a few cracks of peppercorn to slightly offset all the salt!
