It’s finally here! Football season. Ever since I was little, I’ve loved the game. Every year, at the start of the season, I still get a bit giddy when it’s time for the players to take the field.
There’s a lot of fun to be had as we root for our favorite team and scarf down our game-day eats. This year, to kick off the season, my homegate party recipes include Cream Cheese Sausage Balls, Hawaiian Meatballs, and the newest member in the line-up, Crock Pot Spinach Artichoke Dip.
Can Crock Pot Spinach Artichoke Dip Be Made Ahead Of Time?
Absolutely! Just make it per the instructions, let it cool, and then store it, covered, in the fridge. When you want to serve it, add it back to the slow cooker, heat it thoroughly, stir, find your favorite tortilla chips, and enjoy!
This recipe is easy to make since you throw everything in the crock pot and let it work its magic. As an added bonus, this dip is great to serve at any party since the slow cooker will keep it nice and warm while you enjoy time with your guests.
What You Need To Make Spinach Artichoke Dip
- Fresh Spinach
- Canned or Jarred Artichoke Hearts
- Cream Cheese
- Sour Cream
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Parmesan Cheese
- Garlic
- Salt and Pepper
Can You Substitute Frozen Spinach For Fresh?
Using fresh is best, but you can substitute frozen if needed. Thaw the spinach, drain it, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible, then add the rest of the ingredients to the crock pot.
Can I Use Greek Yogurt Instead Of Sour Cream?
- Healthier Option: Greek yogurt is typically lower in calories and fat than sour cream and mayonnaise, plus it contains more protein, making the dip more filling and nutritious.
- Similar Creamy Texture: Greek yogurt has a thick and creamy texture, similar to sour cream and mayonnaise, that won’t drastically change the overall consistency of the dip.
- Tangy Flavor: While Greek yogurt does have a tangy flavor, it’s generally milder than sour cream, which can add a subtle depth to the dish without overwhelming it.

Yes I made your Spinach Artichoke Dip it was a big hit at the Super Bowl and I doubled
the recipe and some took it home with them!!!!
If doubling the recipe, should I double the garlic as well? I know when doubling some recipes you need to adjust garlic. Wonderful recipe that I’ve made a few time since finding it during the holidays.
Can you substitute sour cream with plain yogurt?
Sure
