Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip
Description
The dip combines thawed, well-drained spinach and finely chopped artichoke hearts with softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, freshly grated parmesan, and shredded mozzarella. Red pepper flakes, kosher salt, garlic powder, and onion powder season the dip. Cooking on low heat in a crockpot for several hours allows the ingredients to meld and creates a smooth, creamy texture. Milk is stirred in to thin the mixture to a desirable consistency. The finished dip features a balance of tangy, savory, and mildly spicy flavors with a creamy texture suitable for appetizers or snacking.
Serve warm alongside crusty baguette slices or crunchy crostini for dipping. The dip also reheats well and can be prepared ahead of time.
For stovetop or oven options, steps are included to cook the dip on the stove or bake topped with mozzarella in the oven for a golden crust. Properly squeezing spinach dry before adding prevents excess wateriness.
