Slow Cooker Artichoke And Spinach Dip Ingredients

• 1 (10-ounce) bag fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
• 1 (13-ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
• 1 (8-ounce) brick low-fat cream cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 cup light sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

How To Make Slow Cooker Artichoke And Spinach Dip

1. Prepare Your Slow Cooker: Gently combine the spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese cubes, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), mozzarella, Parmesan, onion, minced garlic, black pepper, and sea salt in the bowl of a small slow cooker. Toss them just enough to distribute the ingredients evenly.
2. Cooking Time: Secure the lid on your slow cooker. Set it to cook on low for 2 to 3 hours or on high for 1 hour. The key indicator that it’s done will be the cheese completely melting and blending into a uniform mixture.
3. Stir and Season: Once the cooking time is up, stir the dip thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly mixed. Taste your dip and, if needed, add a bit more salt and pepper to suit your preferences.
4. Serving: Serve the dip warm. It pairs wonderfully with a variety of dippers such as sliced baguettes, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetables. Choose whatever you and your guests prefer for a personalized touch.

Recipe Variations

• Add Heat: Mix in red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños before cooking for a spicy version. This change brings heat to the creamy dip, making it exciting for those who enjoy spicy foods.
• Make It Keto: Use full-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt and keto-friendly cheese. This adjustment keeps the dip creamy while fitting into a keto diet.
• Go Vegan: Choose vegan cream cheese, plant-based sour cream, and dairy-free cheese. This switch makes the dip vegan without losing its creamy taste.
• Seafood Addition: Stir in cooked, flaked crab meat or shrimp. Adding seafood enhances the dip with a new flavor, making it extra special.

What To Serve With Artichoke And Spinach Dip

How To Store Artichoke And Spinach Dip
