The cream cheese, sour cream, garlic, and Parmesan cheese combine for a delicious sauce to coat the hearty spinach and artichoke hearts for this dip. Everything melts together in the crock pot for a savory, cheesy appetizer even the pickiest palates can enjoy!

What to serve with Crock Pot Spinach Artichoke Dip
You can dip almost anything in this Spinach Artichoke Dip recipe!
Crackers and tortilla chips are great, but I prefer a baked crostini under my dip for maximum crunch and stability. Cut a loaf of bread into 1/4-inch slices. Brush both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake at 350 degrees F until golden, about 15-20 minutes.
Looking to steer clear of extra carbs? This is great for carrots, celery, tomatoes, or any kind of raw veggie you like for a snack! The options are endless.

Tools used to make Crock Pot Spinach Artichoke Dip
Crock pot: There are a lot of slow cookers on the market, but this is my favorite! The lid is super secure and it’s big enough to make a lot of soups without splashing over.

great recipe – made it for a work event and everyone loved it – super easy and delish!
I also love that it does not have too many ingredient, esp no mayo. Alot of recipes out there seem to over complicate this simple dish.
Meli says
I made this for my bookclub, and now I’ve been told I’ll be making it for every meeting. It was very easy and I served it with a cut up sourdough loaf.
Aubrey Cota says
Awesome!
Clytie Trotta says
My Family loved this recipe!! All I did was cut the garlic in half otherwise it is an amazing recipe…
Kayla says
Do you drain the artichoke hearts?
Aubrey says
Yes, be sure to drain the artichoke hearts. 🙂
Taryn says
Totally random, but do you drain the artichokes, too?
Aubrey says
You do want to drain the artichokes before adding them in. 🙂
Kerry says
Are the 4 cloves of garlic supposed to be chopped first or just thrown into the crockpot whole and peeled?
Stacey says
Kerry, I use minced garlic!
Colleen says
Plain or marinated artichoke hearts?
admin says
Colleen, I use the marinated artichokes!
Jen Tolkie says
Is it good re-heated?
Aubrey says
I’ve had this at Stacey’s house the next day on more than one occasion and it’s just as good the next day. 🙂
christi says
What size crock pot do you use?
Stacey says
Christi, I have used my big one (sorry, I am not sure of the exact size) and my small one a couple times. I would go with a bigger one so it is easier to mix everything in there.
Amy Green says
Should I double the recipe for the larger crock pot?
admin says
Amy, you sure can! I use the regular recipe in my large crock pot and it works fine, but I should let you know that this dip disappears very quickly, so doubling it is a great idea! 🙂
Denise says
You don’t have to squeeze the excess water from the spinach? Just wondering, since most recipes tell you to. Thanks.
Stacey says
Denise, Thank you for mentioning that. Yes, I do squeeze the excess water from the spinach before adding it to the crock pot. I will update the recipe. Thanks!

How much spinach is used? I don’t see an amount in the recipe 🙂
