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.

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.

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.

    As President of the Cooking Classy fan club (LOL 😂), when I wanted to make this I looked to see if you had a recipe for it first, then automatically went with it. It was excellent! Next time I might add the tiniest splash of milk to make it a bit more scoop-able. Will make again and again!

  • Kai

    If I wanted to double this recipe would it still be the same cooking time/temp?

    • Jaclyn

      I’m guessing it may need about 5 to 10 mins longer if doubling.

    I made this for a party. I used cheddar cheese instead of Mozzarella as it was all I had. I also added some chilli flakes, salt and white pepper. It was really delicious. I will definitely make this again.

  • T.Rose

    Absolutely delicious! I’m wondering if anyone has ever tried making this in the crockpot? Wondering specifically whether the mayonnaise would hold up to a crock pot?

    • Gabriel Martin

      Mayo tends to be fine, plenty of crockpot recipes use mayo, especially with other things acting as a binder. Cheese and the oils of the mayo will combine with the spinach and cream and turn sauce like. Like any cooking method cooking mayo too long sometimes separates the oil from the mayo. You can always add the last hour before the meal. Just be sure with a crockpot you don’t leave it in there long after you unplug it because warm mayo spoils fast. Serve it than store the extra as fast as you can to prevent food poisoning.

    Delish and easy to fix. I add a bit of Tabasco sauce to the mixture. Always a great recipe to have for parties and get togethers. Kids love it too!~

  • Angela

    Made this yesterday and got nothing but rave reviews! Subbed frozen spinach with 6 ounces of fresh because that’s what I had. Amazing recipe!!

  • Meeghan

    Making my next batch with the pickings from my crab feast yesterday, about 4-5 oz. I also add a T. Lemon juice (half a large lemon) for a little zing. Thanks for the great cheese to stuffing ratios, really decadent!

  • Kathy

    Could this be put in a crock pot for an all day party or would it dry out?
