Spinach Artichoke Dip
This Spinach Artichoke Dip is perfect for parties, game nights, or anytime you are craving a delicious snack.
It's easy to make and is best when served warm. I personally love eating it with Wheat Thins, my hubby likes it best with Triscuits. It's also great on thick slices of French or Sourdough bread.
Whether you're having friends over, wanting to take it to a party, or just want a delicious snack, this spinach artichoke dip is perfect.
Ingredients
Frozen spinach: I prefer frozen spinach because it’s already chopped and easy to work with, but make sure to thaw it and squeeze out any excess water before adding it to the dip to avoid a soggy texture.
Artichoke hearts: Canned artichokes work great for this recipe, but be sure to drain and chop them finely so they blend well into the dip.
Cream cheese: Make sure it’s softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
Sour cream: I like to use regular sour cream.
Mayonnaise: Full-fat mayonnaise gives the dip a creamy texture.
Shredded mozzarella cheese: Freshly shredded mozzarella melts better and gives the dip a smoother, more stringy texture, but pre-shredded mozzarella is fine too if you’re short on time. You can tell in the pics that I used pre-shredded mozzarella.
Grated Parmesan cheese: I recommend using freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor, but the pre-grated version will work if that’s all you have on hand.
Garlic cloves: Fresh garlic is the best flavor, but garlic powder is a good alternative if needed.
Onion powder: This ingredient adds a mild, sweet flavor without being overpowering.
Salt: Always taste as you go when adding salt—different cheeses may already add some saltiness, so you may not need much.

How to Make
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, spinach, artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Next, fold in the spinach and chopped artichokes, making sure everything is evenly mixed.
Transfer the mixture to a 2-ounce baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top, making sure it covers the dip in a nice, even layer.
Bake the dip for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy it warm with crackers, bread, or fresh veggies for dipping!
Leftover/Storage
Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
To reheat, warm it in the microwave or in the oven at 350°F until hot and bubbly.
