Best Homemade Spinach Artichoke Dip!

Say goodbye to the store-bought, cold spinach artichoke dip. Those versions are quick, cheap, and packed with mayo. But once you try this warm and melty version… you’ll never go back.

Spinach artichoke dip is my favorite kind of savory dip. It has so much flavor, comforting cheese, and rich veggies.

This is the ultimate party dip! I’m yet to meet someone who doesn’t love it. Your party guests will lick the bowl clean.

I shared a stove-top version a few years ago, but this baked version has become my go-to. You’ll love how there’s no tending to this method—just mix and bake.

Can I Use Fresh Spinach in This Recipe?

You can definitely use fresh spinach here in place of frozen. If doing so steam it and blanch in ice water, then squeeze excess liquid and chop.

Can I Make it Lighter?

If you are looking to make it a little lighter try it with light cream cheese, light mayonnaise, and light sour cream.

Can I Make it Ahead?

You can make the dip a day in advance and refrigerate it. Then, let it rest at room temperature 30-60 minutes and bake. Prep this recipe the day before your Super Bowl party and bake right before the game starts!

Can I Reheat This Spinach Artichoke Dip?

If I’m lucky enough to have some of this dip left, I keep it in the fridge then scoop out a few spoonfuls and microwave briefly until heated through.

    I forgot to buy mozzarella cheese…how horrible would this stuff taste if I left it out?

      It should still be good without it. Then just try it with it the next time for the extra cheesiness.

  • Sasha

    Hi! Do you still have the recipe from the stovetop version posted/available somewhere? I’ve been making that one for years and it’s a huge crowd pleaser!! I don’t recall it being very different from this version, but I want to say it also included butter?

    • Jaclyn

      Here’s the stovetop recipe:

      Ingredients
      1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts (in water)
      8 oz baby spinach, roughly chopped
      2 Tbsp butter
      1 Tbsp minced garlic
      1/2 cup half and half, then more as desired
      1/2 cup sour cream
      8 oz cream cheese, diced into small cubes
      1 cup (3 oz) finely shredded parmesan cheese
      Salt and freshly ground black pepper
      Red pepper flakes (optional)

      Instructions
      Drain artichoke hearts then chopped into small pieces. Place on several layers of paper towels then squeeze some of the excess moisture from artichoke hearts.
      Melt butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Add spinach, artichoke hearts and garlic and saute until spinach has just wilted, about 2 minutes.
      Remove pan from heat, add in half and half, sour cream, cream cheese cubes and parmesan cheese and return pan to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly (reducing heat just slightly if needed) until cheese has melted and dip is hot.
      Season with salt and pepper to taste, thin with more half and half if desired and sprinkle in red pepper flakes if desired.
      Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers or baguette slices.

    I made this last night and served it with pumpernickel bread. I used fresh spinach for this, as per your suggestion. It turned out amazing and super easy to make! My husband and I loved it! I will make a bigger batch next time since we already ate most of it haha (it turned into our dinner). Thank you for sharing this recipe!

      So glad you and your husband loved it! That happens to me a lot too, it quickly just becomes dinner :).

      Because of the dairy in the dip it likely won’t freeze well unfortunately.

  • Melody

    Hi Jaclyn,
    Your new version sounds great. I am actually making it now. FYI….When I printed the new version, the old recipe is actually what printed. Not sure what’s up with that. It saved the old version instead of the new also when I penned it.

    • Jaclyn

      Jaclyn Bell

      Thanks for the heads up! I just deleted the entire recipe and added it in a new recipe box so hopefully that fixes the issue. I hope you love this dip Melody, happy new year!

  • Kayleen Miller

    Thought you would want to know that when you try to print this recipe it takes you to your original artichoke dip recipe not your new one?

    Btw, I love your recipes and try them often, and usually repeat them. :)

    • Jaclyn

      Jaclyn Bell

      Thanks for the heads up Kayleen! Not sure why that happened but I deleted and re-added the recipe so hopefully that solves the issue. I’m so glad to hear you love my recipes :)!

  • Brian

    This will be delicious. I had a similar dip years ago and I remember how everybody loved it. I’m glad I’ve found your recipe. Thanks for sharing it, and Happy New Year to you.
