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.

      I haven’t tried but I’ve heard it works it just can be a little watery.

    • Jaclyn

      Jaclyn Bell

      Yes and it should be squeezed to drain. Did you see the recipe box below? Sorry if you had trouble finding it!

      • Alexandra

        Hi! Just bought all the ingredients but my grocery store was out of frozen spinach. Is it possible to use fresh? If so, would I sauté before mixing with the other ingredients or just dice and add it in?

        • Jaclyn

          Jaclyn Bell

          Yes sauté it first then let it cool and wrap in paper towels and squeeze out excess moisture. Then if preferred you can chop it up.

    • Meeghan Long

      Yes, squeeze that frozen spinach as dry as you can!! I like to dump the whole box in a collider and run warm water to thaw it while I pull off handfuls and squeeze dry, then shred the dry handful a bit into the mix. It makes it easier to mix together.

      • Meeghan Long

        Also, crowd favorite is to add a cup of crabmeat!! Makes a wonderful filling for stuffed mushrooms too!

  • Rochelle

    We used fresh garlic we sautéed with 10 oz baby Spinach and chopped 4 oz water chestnuts. My husband, who groaned as I was making this had never been a fan–until tonight. He’s asked me to make a double or triple batch up for his company’s departmental Christmas potluck luncheon on Wednesday.

  • Laura

    Delicious!! If you want a bit more of a kick just add a little dash of Cajun seasoning. You won’t regret that addition. Everyone loved it.

  • Shelia

    Added browned pork sausage (crumbled) and red pepper flakes. Think my next one will be shredded chixken.

  • Peg

    I have congestive heart failure and need to watch my sodium intake. What ingredient makes this so high in sodium? And can it be replaced with something at a lower count?

    • Jaclyn

      Jaclyn Bell

      Hi Peg – The sodium count is likely due to the cheeses and other packaged ingredients. You may be able to look for lower-sodium options.

    • Meeghan Long

      Peg, it is absolutely the dairy – cheese, cream cheese.. get low sodium dairy and don’t add a lot of salt. Truly, there’s a lot of salt in cheese that will already flavor it. That will remove a huge amount of sodium!

    Show stopper at Thanksgiving! I modified it just a bit because my family loves garlic so 3 cloves, enough oils so didn’t need to spray pan, used fresh spinach lightly boiled and increased amount slightly, I always do with spinach. Definitely bookmarked!
