1 Slow Cooker

Ingredients

8 ounces baby spinach
14 ounces artichokes, canned
8 ounces cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Open the can of artichokes and drain the water.
Cut the artichokes into small bits.
Cut the cream cheese in 8 pieces.
Add the cream cheese to the slow cooker.
Add the chopped artichokes to the crock.
Add the sour cream to the crock and mix with other ingredients.
Sprinkle in the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Add the onion powder, garlic powder and salt.
Top with baby spinach.
Add the cover and set the slow cooker to low for two hours.
After one hour of cooking, remove the top to stir so that the spinach gets mixed into the dip. Replace the top and let cook for the remaining hour.
Serve while warm with crackers or bread.

Notes

In my recipe, I prefer using fresh baby spinach because I find that regular spinach leaves can be too large for a dip. The smaller leaves of baby spinach blend in nicely and provide a great texture.

Some people have asked about using frozen spinach as a time and money saver. However, I don’t consider it a true time saver because you can’t just throw a big block of frozen spinach into the Crock Pot. As it melts and cooks, it releases excess liquid, which can result in a runny dip. If you do choose to use frozen spinach, make sure to thaw it and drain any excess moisture first to avoid this issue. If you have the time and inclination to prep the frozen spinach, it can work well in the recipe!
