Ingredients
– 10 ounces fresh spinach, roughly chopped
– 14 ounces canned or jarred artichoke hearts, roughly chopped
– 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
– 1 cup sour cream
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– Β½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
– 4 cloves minced garlic
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1-First Step: Start by gathering all your ingredients on the counter to make things easy. Measure out 10 ounces of fresh spinach and roughly chop it, then do the same with 14 ounces of canned or jarred artichoke hearts to ensure theyβre ready to go.
2-Second Step: Cut 8 ounces of cream cheese into cubes for even melting, and shred your cheeses if you havenβt already 1 cup mozzarella and Β½ cup Parmesan will give you that perfect cheesy pull.
3-Third Step: Mince 4 cloves of garlic and measure out 1 cup of sour cream, along with salt and pepper to taste. This mise en place step helps everything come together smoothly without rushing.
4-Fourth Step: Add all the ingredients into your small crockpot. That means tossing in the chopped spinach, artichokes, cream cheese cubes, sour cream, shredded cheeses, minced garlic, and seasonings, then stir everything well to mix it up evenly.
5-Fifth Step: Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 2 hours. This slow cooking allows the flavors to blend beautifully, but remember to stir once after the first hour to help it melt uniformly.
6-Sixth Step: Once the 2 hours are up, give it another good stir to combine everything and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed. This ensures the dip is perfectly balanced and ready to serve.
7-Final Step: Turn off the crockpot and serve the dip warm right away with your favorite dippers like crackers, chips, or bread. It makes about 6 servings and is best enjoyed fresh, with each bite offering that creamy, cheesy goodness. For nutritional details, hereβs a quick overview in a table:
