I made this for the first time ever this past week for a food day at work. Two people immediately asked for the recipe, so I guess it was good! :) What little was left disappeared pretty quickly at home. Just a note - all recipes I've seen for this type of dip recommend squeezing the spinach dry. I didn't. The extra moisture helps keep this super cheesy recipe from getting too "tight". For the best taste, make this the night before, heat it through to melt the cheese & refrigerate it in the crock pot (if a unit with a removable crock). The flavors marry together beautifully!

How To Make super cheesy spinach and artichoke crockpot dip

  • Step 1
    If including onions, dice and drop in a lightly sprayed frying pan over medium high heat to soften slightly. (I like to let them just start to turn golden brown). Set aside to cool.
  • Step 2
    Drain the artichokes. Roughly chop them into small chunks and set aside.
  • Step 3
    Thaw and drain the spinach; set aside to drain further.
  • Step 4
    In crock pot, blend cream cheese, half and half, mayonnaise, adobo powder and black pepper until smooth.
  • Step 5
    Add shredded cheeses, chopped artichoke, spinach and onions and mix thoroughly. Set crock pot to high and warm through for 1 - 1 1/2 hrs, stirring occasionally.
  • Step 6
    Serve warm with your choice of chips or bread for dipping.
