Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and thoroughly drained
  • 1 (14 oz) can marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

Dairy and Cream Base

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Seasonings

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Thaw the frozen spinach completely and squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Chop the marinated artichoke hearts finely to ensure every spoonful is packed with flavor.
  2. Combine the Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise together until smooth and creamy. This mixture forms the luscious base of your dip.
  3. Add Cheese and Seasonings: Stir in the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper into the creamy base. Mix until everything is well incorporated for consistent flavor.
  4. Fold in Spinach and Artichokes: Gently fold the drained spinach and chopped artichokes into your cheese mixture, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
  5. Cook in the Crock Pot: Transfer the mixture into your crock pot and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours. Stir every 30 minutes if possible to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. The dip should be hot, bubbly, and perfectly creamy when done.

Notes

  • Drain Thoroughly: Excess moisture from spinach or artichokes can water down the dip, so squeeze well.
  • Use Full-Fat Dairy: Full-fat cream cheese and sour cream help achieve the creamiest texture.
  • Stir Occasionally: Prevents burning on the edges and promotes even melting.
  • Adjust Cooking Time: Cooking longer on low melts flavors better but avoid overcooking which can dry it out.
  • Keep It Covered: Maintain a tight lid on the crock pot to trap moisture and heat.
