Ingredients for Cheesy Crockpot Spinach Dip
- Cream cheese – Full-fat cream cheese is a must! Don’t try to make this a healthy dip, haha!
- Sour cream – A touch of sour cream breaks down the richness of the cream cheese and makes it tangy and flavorful.
High protein substitute: Use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream for some extra protein! - Fresh spinach – Fresh spinach leaves are best in this dip.
- Canned artichokes – Artichoke hearts add a wonderful crunch and flavor to this dip.
- Cheese – A melty cheese like mozzarella is a must for this creamy spinach dip. The addition of parmesan cheese adds a great flavor and creaminess.
