Variations

Spicier Version: I like to add a little extra red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for a kick.

Extra Cheesy: A handful of shredded cheddar or Gouda can make this even richer.

Lighter Option: Using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and light mayo can cut down on calories while keeping it creamy.

Protein Boost: Adding cooked, shredded chicken or crumbled bacon makes this dip more hearty.

Dairy-Free: A mix of cashew cream and dairy-free cheese alternatives works well for a vegan-friendly version.

Storage & Reheating

If I have leftovers, I store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, I either microwave it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, or pop it back in the oven at 350°F until warm and bubbly. If it thickens too much, I stir in a splash of milk to loosen it up.

FAQs

How do I make this dip ahead of time?

I prepare the dip mixture and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking. When ready, I bake it as directed, adding a few extra minutes if needed.

Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?

Yes! I sauté fresh spinach until wilted, drain any excess liquid, and then chop it before adding it to the mix.

What can I serve with this dip?

I love serving it with tortilla chips, crackers, sliced baguette, or even fresh veggies like carrots and bell peppers.

Can I freeze spinach artichoke dip?

I don’t recommend freezing this dip since dairy-based dips can separate when thawed, affecting the texture. It’s best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated for a few days.

Can I make this dip in a slow cooker?

Yes! I mix everything together and cook it on low for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally until fully heated. It stays warm for serving at parties.
