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?

I would try this dip!
Haha, whyyy does it not come as any surprise that there was parmesan in this recipe, I wonder? Tsk tsk!
Looks amazing though! And using the slow-cooker for dips is something I have never thought about before! I can imagine the flavours merge together even better than with just simmering over the hob. Great stuff! I have only ever used artichokes once (in a pea- and artichoke spread no less!) before and it gave this really nice, creamy texture!
Ah, the weekend is just around the corner, perfect for dipping 😛 x
What would I make?.. 7 meals the first week… then at least 1 meal per week after that. That 1 meal a week would actually end up being two. Thankfully my hubby doesn’t mind leftovers, especially since I tend to put a twist on the leftover so it is not exactly the same as the original meal.
Thanks for all the yummy recipes and the stories that go with them.
I would make pot roast for hubby and this dip for our good friend who LOVES spinach artichoke dip!
I would have to make the artichoke and spinach dip…what a great idea for a slow cooker to have!!
Just tweeted about this. Dang girl. You outdid yourself!! I love spin/arti dip and just made some this weekend! I told you about that though already. How SMART to do it in the slow cooker. Love the moody wood boards!
Oh my gosh will you please coin this?! Spinarti Dip. Seriously. Genius.
I would definitely make this dip with the crockpot ! I would also make pulled mork for pulled pork sandwiches! 🙂
Mmmmm pulled mork
I love this recipe!! This is my second time making it and I goofed and stirred the cream cheese into the mixture before I started the slow cooker. Is that going to mess it up??!
I would make chili 🙂
Why make chili when you want dip? DERP
