The Go-to Party 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. One of our favorites is this 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 go out on hot dates. This cheesy dip has become one of our go-to’s, and we’ve even created a Crock Pot Version!
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 spinach artichoke dip recipe takes MAYBE 5 minutes to mix all the ingredients together before baking in the oven – which is THE most important step.
PREP. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
MIX. In a medium bowl, mix spinach, artichoke hearts, and Parmesan.
In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and garlic. Add to spinach mixture and mix until well combined.
BAKE. Pour into an 8×8-inch baking dish and bake for 25 minutes.
SERVE WARM. Serve immediately with chips, crackers, or vegetables for dipping.
Spinach. You can definitely use canned spinach for this spinach dip recipe. Just make sure to drain it and squeeze out the excess liquid.
You can use fresh spinach too! Mix it in raw, but the texture may not be quite right. Instead, spend a few extra minutes sauteing or steaming it before mixing it in with the other ingredients.
PARTY Prep
This spinach and artichoke dip is perfect for parties! It can easily be made ahead of time.
Make ahead of time. Make the dip as instructed and place it in your dish. Cover in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking.
Slow cooker directions. We have a recipe for Crock Pot Spinach Artichoke Dip as well.
Freeze this dip. While I don’t recommend freezing the dip ahead of time, I will often freeze leftovers to heat up at home. Due to the dairy, it will take on a slightly grainy texture when it thaws, but it’s still delicious and my family will still polish it off.

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 🙂
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. 😉
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.
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!
Can leftover dip be refrigerated and microwaved later?
Of course! 🙂 Enjoy! Let me know what you think!
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 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!!
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.
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!
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.
