    • artichokes (in a can or a jar)
    • spinach (fresh or frozen)
    • black pepper
    • mozzarella cheese

    Step by step instructions

    This is one of the easiest dips you can make. Simply combine all ingredients and bake!

    Best tips

    • cream cheese: make sure the cream cheese is softened. It will mix better and make for a smooth and creamy dip.
    • cheese: use freshly grated cheese; it melts better.
    • spinach: if using frozen spinach, you have to defrost it and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. If using fresh, it's helpful to chop it roughly.

    Can I make this dip ahead of time?

    Absolutely! Prepare the dip mixture and store in a bowl, in the fridge for up to 2 days. When you are ready to serve it, place it in a baking dish, top with cheese and bake.

    Can I make it in a crockpot?

    Yes! Add the dip mixture to your slow cooker and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours.

    Storing

    Since this dip is made with dairy products, it needs to be refrigerated until you are ready to bake it and serve it. Any leftovers should be placed in a container with lid and stored in the fridge.

    Variations:

    • add diced red or green bell pepper
    • spicy: add diced jalapenos and use pepper Jack cheese instead of mozzarella
    • no mayo: skip the mayonnaise and use more sour cream
    • use kale instead of spinach
