Easy Artichoke Dip
We love appetizers at our house and love to make them for parties, get togethers and holidays! We always spend New Year’s Eve putting together a ton of appetizer and dip recipes to enjoy that night, and I wanted to share one of our favorites with you today – Cheesy Spinach Artichoke Dip!
Ever since I can remember, artichoke dip has been one of my favorite appetizers, and it’s one we often get when we got out on hot dates. This cheesy dip has become one of our go-to’s (along with Buffalo Chicken Dip and Cream Cheese Bean Dip).
This recipe is very simple, only requires a small handful of ingredients, and can be put together in just a few minutes. The most time consuming part is waiting for it to bake in the oven!
How to Make Spinach Artichoke Dip:
This dip takes MAYBE 5 minutes to mix all the ingredients together before baking in the oven – which is THE most important step. The spinach and artichokes soften and the cheeses and creamy ingredients get sooo warm and gooey, and it is just the best. I’m drooling even thinking about it.
To make the dip, mix parmesan cheese, spinach, and artichoke hearts in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix together sour cream, cream cheese, mayo, and garlic. Add to spinach mixture and mix everything until well combined. Pour into 8×8 pan and bake for 25 minutes at 375°.
This baked spinach artichoke dip is definitely best warm, and we promise it won’t last very long – it’s that good!
Can you use canned spinach in spinach dip? You can definitely used canned spinach for this recipe. Just make sure to drain it and squeeze out the extra liquid.
Can you use fresh spinach in artichoke dip? You can use fresh spinach too! Just chop up the spinach and throw it into the recipe. The spinach will cook down while it’s baking in the oven.
Can spinach artichoke dip be made ahead of time?
You can definitely make this dip ahead of time, and it’s something we do often. Just make the dip as instructed and place in your dish. Cover in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking.
Can artichoke dip be made in the crock pot?
You can definitely turn this in to a crock pot version. Make as directed by combining all the ingredients. Place in a greased slow cooker and heat on LOW for 3-4 hours or on HIGH for 2 hours.
Can you freeze spinach artichoke dip?
We DO NOT recommend freezing this recipe since mayonnaise and sour cream typically do not freeze well. Test by freezing a small batch for 24 hours to see how well it does.
What to serve with this spinach artichoke dip?
We are boring and typically serve tortilla chips with our artichoke dip, but there are other items that go great with it too. Some of those include:
- crackers
- veggies – cucumbers, carrots, celery, peppers
- bread slices or cubes (toasted crostini works great or so do slices of french bread!)
- Pita chips and other corn chips
- Grissini (cracker like bread sticks)
Are you drooling too? If not, you should be!! We really hope you love this dip recipe as much as we did. 😉 I’m seriously so excited to make this again. It’s so good!! And what’s great is it reheats well too, which is always a bonus. 😉

Everyones favorite dip! The best and perfect to serve warm on a cold winters day.
Yum, I could take a swim in this. Can’t wait to try your recipe!
Spinach and artichoke dip is my favorite! All that cheesy goodness- yum!
I have been wanting to make a dip for quite sometime. I think I found my answer here. Great looking dip 🙂
You seriously can not go wrong with spinach artichoke dip! Your version looks delicious!
Possibly my favorite dip ever!!! And this looks so good! Pass me the chips, a bowl of this and I’m set 🙂
You can never beat a good spinach artichoke dip. Perfect for football-watching Sundays!
Does anyone know if I can make it the night before and cook the next day?
I made it the night before but I did not cook it I just put it in the refrigerator overnight. I cooked it the next day right before the party. It turned out just fine.
Can you make this ahead of time and leave in fridge?
I personally haven’t tried, it’s best to eat right after baking it. But if you mean, putting it together and baking later, yes, you can do that.
Yes you van reheat it. I make it for lunches and snacks and reheat through the week. It’s amazing.
Hello! Just wondering could you put this is a crock pot and cook it?
I haven’t done it that way, but I’m sure you could!! Maybe on low. Good luck and enjoy!! Thank you for stopping by!
Did u try it in a crockpot? How did it turn out?
I was wondering the same thing! I’m going to try it today 🙂
I have not done this specific recipe in the crock pot, but it should be ok. I would keep it on low.
I did tonight actually! It turned out fantastic! I tweaked it a little bit and didn’t use mayo. But I’m sure it would be wonderful with it! I did it on high for 2 hours and it was delicious! Fast and easy and I didn’t have to worry about keeping it warm!
Yay!! Makes me happy to hear that! Thanks so much for making it and for letting me know!
Does this dip freeze well if you make ahead?
I haven’t tried yet..anyone else have? I’m thinking it should be ok, but honestly not 100% positive. I’d love to know if you do freeze it.
Can you use canned spinach?
I made this and it is Such an amazing dip!!The key to a successful dip is to drain the spinach well. Put the pieces on a paper towel , roll it up and squeeeeeeze. This prevents a soggy, wet dip. This dip 11/10!
Yes…that’s the key!! Thanks Oscar!!
Fantastic recipe! My family LOVED this! Thank You So Much!
No, thank you so much for trying it! Glad it was a hit with everyone!
Can leftover dip be refrigerated and microwaved later?
Of course! 🙂 Enjoy! Let me know what you think!
I used one block of cream cheese, I bag of fresh Baby Spinach, and added 2T of Dijon Mustard- all else the same. Delicious!!!
Sounds wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
How many people will a single batch serve?
I couldn’t say a number, but it makes a good size bowl. It could feed a good size group, if you are serving as an appetizer.
Can you use canned spinach? Or fresh?
We’ve never tried canned spinach, but I’m sure it would work as well as fresh spinach. 😉
What type of Mayo should I use?
I just used regular mayo. I like Best Foods, but really any would work 🙂
Any would work. I just used regular mayo. I like Best Foods. Hope that helps!
When you say “mayo” are we talking real mayo or Miracle whip?
Sorry, mayonnaise 🙂
This dip was a hit! I made this for the first game of the 2017 football season. We enjoyed and I will be making again????
It’s perfect for parties!! I am glad you liked it! Thank you for letting me know!
any chance of using marinated hearts?
I haven’t tried? One way to find out 🙂
Delish!!!!
Amazing recipe, easy and absolutely delicious.
My hubby was spoiled today with this recipe.
Excellent for Thanksgiving with chips .
Awe, thank you so much! That makes me so happy to hear!
I make the Cheesy Spinach &Artichoke Dip all the time and everybody always loves it!!!!!!???????????????????? It is the best thank you.
You are so welcome!! It’s one of my favorites! Thanks a lot!
Yummy! Made it for Thanksgiving get together—everyone loved it! For Christmas lunch they asked me to bring the tasty spinach artichoke dip…making tonight, again for New Year’s Eve. Thank you for sharing ????????
We made it too!! I’m glad to share! Thanks so much!
Do you think it would be ok to make it in the oven and transfer to a crock pot on warm? I am bringing to a party, and I’d like for it to stay hot and I am not sure I want to make it in the crockpot, just to stay warm
For sure 🙂 It will be a hit! Have fun!
Like your recipes
Made this a few days ago and it was so yummy! The family gobbled it up. I added a sprinkle of garlic powder too since I love garlic. This was so simple and tasty. Thank you.
Yay! I love adding garlic to almost everything! Thanks for giving this a try 🙂
This looks delicious. Thank you so much for sharing – there really is nothing like a great spinach artichoke dip. I’ve been wanting to make my own at home for ages now. Can’t wait to try this one and share it with my family!
You will like this one..we do!! Glad to share! Hope you like it!
If I use fresh spinach do I just need to cook it first?
I would 🙂
A great classic recipe for a dip that everyone seems to like, even people who think they don’t like spinach or artichokes. I made this early in the day and kept it in the fridge until an hour before serving. Then I brought it to room temperature and baked for the specified time. You just have to be sure to really squeeze the liquid out of the spinach and artichokes. Thanks for a great recipe!
Thank you so much!! And, yes, squeeze all that liquid out 🙂 I am so glad you liked it!!
I c for ur spinach artichoke dip, it says serve immediatly, Taking this to a potluck, it will sitting in shade for a hr. will it be ok to eat.
Yes, it should be ok 🙂
How many recipes of this would a party of 90 people require???
Oh, wow..I haven’t make this for that many. I would maybe triple or quadruple it. I mean..not everyone may want to have it or they may just take a scoop. You could always make more than needed & freeze leftovers. Hope it’s a hit!
Made this for a group gathering and it was delicious! I used fresh spinach that I cooked on the stove top and it turned out great.
Yay!! Love to hear that! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the spinach artichoke dip recipe. It was one of my favorites 20 and 30 years ago, and I was wondering how much of the other ingredients I put in it. I used to very lightly blanch broccoli spears to use for eating the dip (always interested in health). Love your attitude!
Awe, thank you so much!! I am glad you found this recipe 🙂
I could eat this cold or warm!! It was so good!! We had tortilla chips on hand, but these would be great with crackers or bread. I can’t wait to make it again!
This is SO delicious I just want to eat it all by myself with a fork! Who needs chips or crackers? Yummmmm
Haha..go for it!! 🙂 I am so glad you liked it! Thank you!
Artichokes are not my favorite thing to handle. BUT I’ll do it again and again for a recipe this good! We love to eat the spinach dip at Charlestons and this one is just as great! And cheaper 🙂
This is a perfect appetizer to serve at a dinner party. I liked it best served with different types of bread. So warm and heavenly!!!
I made this in a cast iron skillet and added lots of fresh ground pepper and a decent splash of lemon juice. It was fantastic!
Perfect!! I am glad you liked it! Thank you 🙂
The most request dish for get togethers. Its usually Gone in no time.
I am so happy to hear that!. We love this stuff! Thank you for letting me know!
We love the spinach artichoke dip at ChaRlestOns. This is just as good with all the right combinations for a cheesy,gooey,hoT dip served with tortiLla chips.

Superbowl dip!!! This is amazing!! Thanks for sharing!
This makes a perfect appetizer!
I had this Dip at my inlaws house. It was so good i had to get thE recipe to make on my own.
I’ve been making this exact recipe for so many years. It was passed down to me from family. Been a staple in the family forever! Love it so much. Wish the nutrition label said how much was in each servings. That’s how I came across this page was looking for nutrition on my recipe as I knew many have this same recipe cause it’s so yummy! Best dip ever.
Has anyone eaten this cold or really just room temp? Im taking it to the park for a birthday party so i dont have a way of keeping it warm.
Looks delish!
I usually like it warm, but it definitely could be eaten at room temp 🙂
