Slow Cooker Spinach and Artichoke Dip
Simply throw everything in the crockpot for the easiest, most effortless spinach and artichoke dip – it doesn’t get easier than that!
Being Korean, we NEVER used a slow cooker when I was growing up. In all honesty, I didn’t even know what it was until I entered the blogging world 3 years ago! But once I discovered this amazing electric pot, my life changed forever. Well, maybe it’s not that dramatic but the slow cooker is pretty darn amazing.
With the help of a slow cooker, you can make almost anything, from this honey sesame chicken to dulce de leche! And now, I’ve discovered that you can also make this incredibly creamy, comforting spinach and artichoke dip so easily. Simply throw everything into the slow cooker, press on, and that’s it! Plus, with the use of the Crock-Pot® Programmable Slow Cooker with iStir™ Stirring System, this baby even stirs itself through self-activation every 30 minutes to ensure thorough mixing and even heating until turned off. I told you – it’s life changing, right?

Everyone loved it and wanted the recipe.
I served this for a bunco snack, easy to amke and delicious.
The different cheese make it extra tasty.
It’s such a great snacking recipe! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Made it for a gathering of friends and was a hit! It was wonderful because it stayed warm. The only thing we had 23 people so we doubled it and it was way too much.
Do you have to use frozen spinach or can you use fresh?
Been making it this way for years. Seriously the absolute best spinach artichoke dip, better than restaurants, and such a crowd pleaser! Even my veggie-hating kids love it!
Ive been making your recipe for years now. its perfect, and i now cannot purchase spinach artichoke dip in restaurants because this recipe is SO much better. the red wine vinegar really helps, as does a good feta. ive found if i dont use good quality feta the recipe doesnt taste right.
I am having a baby shower with many other dips etc. About how many people wouldthis receipe serve?
So easy to make and the best we’ve had!
This turned out delicious and made so much dip we served it on Christmas Eve and again the next day.
I bought all the ingredients and then realized my slow cooker would be occupied so I adapted by sautéing the onion and garlic in a pan first and then baked the dip for about 45 minutes (It was chilled) at 350 and then I threw some mozzarella on top and stuck it under the broiler for 3 minutes.
Do you leave in crock pot on low or put in a dish?
I would love to make this dip and maybe throw some crab meat in there 🙂
This sounds yummy! Can I use frozen artichoke hearts instead ?
Does it matter what size crock pot we use?
I made this for an office party, and it was a huge hit! One question – I used jarred artichokes that didn’t have any salt, and did need to add a bit of salt at the end. For those of you who have made it, did you use artichokes with salt or without? I’m planning to make it again for a school potluck next week.
If I’m using my insta pot how would I cook it?
Thanks Sharon

I’ve made this twice and it’s SO good!!!
Thanks for sharing!
Excellent!!
I’ve made this twice and it’s a great dip and doubles (or triples in my case) well. Although use slightly less artichoke if you double or triple. I made this at my in laws Christmas in 2014 and it was a hit. Making it again for the same crowd tonight! Works well with baguettes or tortilla chips.
I make this exact recipe so much I know it by heart. Love the flavor!
This is my favorite recipe! Got an idea for a oven conversion when short on time?
What a great idea! But unfortunately, without having tried this myself, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment when making substitutions and modifications.
Is dip served hot?
Yes.
