Ingredients in Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip

This Crockpot spinach artichoke dip is my go-to appetizer when hosting or sharing a dip. It is easy to make and all pantry staple ingredinets are ready to go. It is a quick and easy recipe to follow that has little preparation to it. This makes for the best slow cooker spinach artichoke dip ever!

  • Fresh Spinach – I like to use fresh spinach because I think it tastes better, but you can also use frozen. If you use frozen, then make sure to thaw it completely and squeeze out any extra water with a paper towel.
  • Artichoke Hearts – I used canned, but not marinated, artichoke hearts. Again, I also squeezed out all the extra water with a paper towel.
  • Cheese – You can change up the cheese in this recipe based on what you like. However, make sure you have one really melty cheese like shredded mozzarella cheese or pepper jack, and one really flavorful cheese like Parmesan cheese, Romano, or Gruyere.
  • Garlic – Fresh is always best, but you can use jarred minced if needed.
  • Lemon Juice – Again, fresh will taste better, but bottled is fine.
  • Greek Yogurt – Greek yogurt adds creaminess and tang. You can also substitute for sour cream or mayonnaise.
  • Cream Cheese – Full-fat cream cheese gives this dip the best texture and flavor.
  • Spices – I like to keep it simple with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Optional – Optional additions for this crock pot spinach artichoke dip include half a white onion finely diced, red pepper flakes, and a dash of cayenne pepper.
