Scale
Main Ingredients
- 14 oz artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
- 8 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 oz frozen spinach, thoroughly thawed and squeezed dry
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened at room temperature
- 2 cups grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (preferably Hellmann’s)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients in the Slow Cooker: Add all the ingredients except the cream cheese into the slow cooker and stir thoroughly to combine. This mixture forms the flavorful base of the dip.
- Add the Cream Cheese: Cut the softened cream cheese into cubes and place them gently on top of the dip mixture in the slow cooker. This helps the cream cheese melt evenly during cooking.
- Cook the Dip: Set your slow cooker to high and cook for 1.5 hours. After this period, open the lid and stir the dip to fully incorporate the softened cream cheese, ensuring a smooth texture.
- Final Cooking: Continue cooking the dip on high for an additional 15 to 30 minutes until hot and bubbly. Monitor to reach your preferred consistency.
- Season and Serve: Taste the dip and add approximately 3/4 teaspoon of salt or to your liking. Serve hot with tortilla chips, crackers, or baguette slices for dipping.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze all moisture out of the thawed spinach to prevent a watery dip.
- Softening cream cheese beforehand ensures a smooth, lump-free texture.
- You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
- This dip can be prepared a few hours in advance and kept warm in the slow cooker until serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
