Add the cream cheese, chopped artichokes, sour cream, mozzarella cheese, seasoning and spinach in that order to the slow cooker.
Set the slow cooker on LOW and cook for 2 hours. Fold in the spinach with some gentle stirring about halfway through the cooking time, after about 1 hour. Serve warm with crackers, or bread.
Notes
If using frozen spinach, make sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible to prevent a watery dip.
For the creamiest, richest dip, opt for full-fat cream cheese, sour cream, and mozzarella.
For an extra flavor boost, sauté fresh minced garlic and onion before adding them to the slow cooker.
If the dip is too thick, stir in a splash of milk or cream to loosen it up.
Add red pepper flakes for a kick, or grated Parmesan for extra cheesiness.
Use the “warm” setting on your slow cooker during serving to keep the dip perfectly gooey.
Serve: Serve slow cooker spinach and artichoke dip with chips, bread, crackers, or fresh veggies to cater to all preferences. For a unique pairing, try fried wonton wrappers, soft pita bread, potato skins, parmesan potatoes, mozzarella sticks, or serve the dip in a bread bowl. Go for grilled chicken strips or shrimp cocktail if you want a heavier appetizer or snack.Store: Cool made-ahead or leftover spinach artichoke dip completely and transfer into an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Reheat small individual portions on the stovetop or microwave, or warm in the oven at 325 F until hot and bubbly.
