Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe
Description
This recipe starts with softened cream cheese mixed with drained chopped artichoke hearts and either fresh or well-drained frozen spinach. Mayonnaise, sour cream, or Greek yogurt adds moisture and creaminess. Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses provide richness and a slightly tangy flavor, with reserved Parmesan used as a topping. A seasoning mix can add subtle flavor depth.
Ingredients are combined thoroughly and either baked at 350°F for 20 minutes or cooked in a slow cooker on low or high heat until the mixture is heated through and cheeses are melted. The result is a thick, creamy dip with tender spinach and artichokes.
This dip is served warm alongside chips, crackers, toast, or vegetables, making it versatile for gatherings or casual snacks. Variations in the creamy base can subtly change texture and tang.
Prepared dip can be made ahead and stored refrigerated up to 2 days before cooking and freezes well when uncooked. Proper thawing and draining frozen spinach prevent excess liquid, and reheating is best done gently to preserve texture.

- 1 (14-ounce) jar artichoke hearts drained and chopped

- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese softened
