My go-to snacks tend to be way too sugary, so I’m trying to adjust my snacking habits. This looks like a perfect recipe to add to my list. Have you tried refrigerating and reheating it?
Yes! We refrigerate and scoop out a portion to reheat. Will keep 3-4 days! Also, we stir in a little shredded chicken and serve on grilled bread! Enjoy!
Ahhhh this looks amazing! If only I can stop eating artichoke hearts as soon as I open the jar!!
My husband is the same way 😊
Lovely recipe. Do you serve the dip hot i.e. in the crockpot?
Yes! I serve straight from the Crockpot 😊
I love artichoke and spinach dip! The Crockpot is such an easy and hassle-free way to cooking your favorites. I don’t own a Crockpot but I’ll improvise 😉
I am sure you could bake in oven at 350 degrees.
