How to serve

  • One way to serve this dip is right out of the slow cooker. Turn it to the warm setting so it doesn’t continue to cook and turn it completely off once the dip gets low.
  • When it comes to dipping, French bread, tortilla chips, pita chips, and crackers are all yummy options.
  • If you’re serving a large crowd, consider splitting the dip into several medium-sized serving bowls and surround the bowl and something people can use for dipping.
  • Another great idea is to eat this dip as a side to other game day appetizers like Slow Cooker Bacon Wrapped Little Smokies.

Recipe FAQs

Can I easily turn this into spinach artichoke dip?

Yes! Simply add one box of thawed spinach that is drained VERY well (squeeze out the water). Or you can use a few handfuls of fresh spinach.

Can I use fresh artichokes in this delicious recipe?

If you have them on hand and know how to prepare them for a dip, go for it! Cooking artichokes is fairly easy to do.

What can I use instead of sour cream?

If you have plain yogurt on hand, you can use that instead.

What size crockpot is ideal for this recipe?

You will want to use a 4-quart or larger.

How do I store leftovers?

Store any remaining dip in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat it on the stovetop over medium-low heat until warmed throughout.

I’ve seen some recipes use olive oil. Can I use that with this one?

I recommend sticking with the recipe as is; however, you can drizzle some on the top right before serving to add additional flavor and smooth texture to the dip.

    I’ve made this recipe twice now and it’s great. I did add about twice the garlic and lemon but that’s just my taste. My son and GF loved it and asked for the recipe. It’s not too anything, just a good balance of flavors. This is the first time I’ve ever made someone else’s recipe more than once so wanted to let you know.

    I recently got a can of artichoke hearts intending to use them in a recipe I never made — may have to use them for this instead! Thanks!
