Looking for more delicious dip recipes? I think you’ll love my buffalo chicken dip, cookie dough dip, and my pimento cheese.
One of my favorite dips has always been this baked hot Spinach Artichoke Dip my Mama made. Throughout the years, I’ve tried so many other versions but always returned to this one.

You can bake it in the oven to serve within 30 minutes or cook and serve it in the slow cooker to keep it warm and delicious throughout your next party!
How to Make Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe
This amazing dip has always been a family favorite when we get together, as well as a well-loved appetizer for parties too! It’s always requested and one of the first appetizers devoured.
Why I Love This Recipe
Amazing Flavor. The flavors of spinach, artichokes, and parmesan mingle perfectly in this delicious dip recipe.
Quick and Easy. Six ingredients. Stir together and bake or cook in the slow cooker. That’s it! So easy!
Make Ahead Friendly. I love that I can prep this recipe and store it in the refrigerator to bake it right before serving or transfer to slow cooker to cook and stay warm throughout the party. It makes entertaining even easier!
Spinach Artichoke Dip Ingredients
You’ll need these six ingredients to make this dip recipe:
- Artichoke Hearts – Drain and roughly chop your artichoke hearts. I prefer to use plain, but you can use marinated based on your preferences or what is available.
- Spinach – I use a 10-ounce package of baby spinach that I roughly chop before adding to the dip mixture.
- Cream Cheese – You can use low-fat cream cheese or the full-fat variety based on your preferences.
- Mayonnaise, Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt – use whichever you prefer.
- Cheeses – You’ll use both Parmesan and mozzarella cheese in this dip.
- Stone House Seasoning – it adds so much flavor in a snap!
Step-by-Step Instructions
To make this Spinach Artichoke dip, I start with artichoke hearts that I drain and then roughly chop, along with softened cream cheese. My Mama’s recipe also calls for mayonnaise, but you can use sour cream or whole milk Greek yogurt in place of the mayonnaise, too. All taste delicious!
Then you’ll mix in the spinach. For the spinach, you can either use thawed frozen spinach or fresh chopped baby spinach. If using the frozen type, make sure it has thawed and press it through a mesh strainer to drain away the moisture. For fresh spinach, just roughly chop.
I then toss in my favorite seasoning mix of all time, my Stone House Seasoning. It adds so much flavor in a snap!
Next, you add in the cheeses.
Hold back about ½ cup of the Parmesan cheese to add to the top of the dip for baking.
Then, just stir together all of the ingredients until they are well combined.
Spread the dip into a shallow baking dish or transfer to a smaller slow cooker and top with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
Then, pop it into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes or set your slow cooker to the low setting for 2 hours or the high setting for 1 hour. Since slow cookers can vary from brand to brand, I recommend checking every 30 minutes or so to make sure that the dip has not overcooked.
Serve warm with chips, crackers, veggies, or toast.
It even tastes great right off of the spoon, too.

I really like mama. 🙂
This looks amazing… I cant wait to make it and impress everyone! 🙂
I bet it does tastes fabulous off the spoon and with chips and bread and well just about anything! Yum.
YUMMY YUM YUM!!! I wish I had some now with celery of course. ; )
I tried one very similar to this – but it added gorgonzola cheese to it.
This cheesy deliciousness needs to be in my mouth.
That dip looks amazing! I need some good appetizer ideas for the holiday! Perfect 🙂
Looks delicious! This would be great for parties.
A good warm spinach and artichoke dip has been on my recipe wish list for quite some time. Can’t wait to try this!
Looks great….can’t wait to make! Thanks!
The problem is… I’d eat the whole thing. Is that a problem? Looks delish!
This sounds delicious. I am definitely going to make it during one of our holiday snack days. Yummy!
My hubby loves spinach artichoke dip… He’s always ordering it as an appetizer at our favorite restaurant. I have a recipe that I’ve made a few times, but I’ve never been completely happy with it. Definitely going to give yours a try!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! We love spinach artichoke dip! On the to do list! For sure!!!
We have a made this a few times, and I like your recipe beter.
Yummy , we also add a small can of chopped green chilies !
Do you use plain or marinated artichokes. Recipe said jar and that is usually the marinated ones while the plain ones are in cans
Hi Terri,
I use the plain ones for this dip. Hope you enjoy it!
Does this freeze well? I live alone and would like to make this to have occasionally. As another person noted, I would probably eat the whole thing, unless I could freeze some.
Yes, it will freeze well Leslie! Make sure it’s in an airtight container and it should be great! Enjoy! Thanks!
Can you taste a difference between the Greek yogurt and the mayonnaise? (Does one taste better than the other?)
Hi Lauren,
There is a slight difference in the flavor of both – it just depends on your preference.
I hope you enjoy it! Thanks!
I love spinach/artichoke dip and order often in pubs. I think I’ll make my own using your recipe. What would be the exact amounts of salt/pepper/garlic added?
HELLO, WHAT IF I PREFER FRESH ARTICHOKE?… JUST BOIL THEM? INTEAD O THE 1 (14-ounce) jar artichoke hearts, drained and chopped?… THANK YOU

Oops, I forgot to leave the starred review!
Made ghis recipe and put divided it into four small cast iron skillets for baking. Took it to all our holiday parties as a hostess gift including the little fry pan, Can’t even tell you how much everyone loved the little pan AND the artichoke dip. Great fun and definitely a crowd pleaser.
I love putting this is little skillets for entertaining too, JoAnn! That was a great idea for a hostess gift and for the party!!! I’m sure everyone loved it!
Thanks so much for letting me know you enjoyed it, Jo Ann! Glad to hear from you! xo
Just made this dip. It is fabulous!! 🙂
I am not familiar with Stone House Seasoning! What is it and where do you get?
Hi Joyce,
It’s my seasoning blend recipe that I use for so many of my recipes. It’s delicious – I hope you enjoy it! Thanks! xo
Is that parmesan on top of the dish? Mine didn’t grate nor melt that way. Also, should the dip have a loose or stiff consistency?
Hi Telsa,
Yes, that is parmesan on top. The dip should not be stiff. It should be soft enough that you can dip baguettes, crackers, etc. into it easily. You should be able to see the texture on the video posted with the recipe. Thanks!
I tried at home, everyone loved it!! Super easy and very yummy!
