Method
 

Cooking Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients - Start by draining the canned artichoke hearts and chopping them into bite-sized pieces. Make sure your frozen chopped spinach is thoroughly thawed and drained to avoid excess moisture in the dip.
  2. Step 2: Combine the Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and milk. Use a spatula to mix until smooth. Fold in the chopped artichokes, thawed spinach, shredded mozzarella, and parmesan cheese. Add the minced garlic (or garlic powder), onion powder, and crushed red pepper if you like a little heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Step 3: Transfer to the Crock Pot - Once everything is well combined, transfer the mixture into your crock pot. Spread it evenly and smooth the top with the spatula.
  4. Step 4: Cook - Cover the crock pot and set it to low. Let it cook for about 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. You’ll know it’s ready when the dip is bubbling and the cheese is melted.
  5. Step 5: Serve and Enjoy - Once your Spinach Artichoke Dip is ready, serve it warm with tortilla chips, toasted bread, or fresh veggies. Enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness!
