What Goes Into This Recipe
Cream Cheese- Allow this to come to room temperature for easy mixing.
Artichoke Hearts- I use canned and then chop them up.
Spinach- Buy a frozen block, then microwave it, let it cool, and squeeze out all the excess water.
Cheese- Freshly grated parmesan and mozzarella will melt the best but if shredded is all you have that will work fine.
Red Pepper Flakes- This adds just a little heat and some nice color.

I highly recommend my no-knead bread to dip in this recipe or use it to make a bread bowl and serve the dip out of it! Check out my article on how to toast bread in the oven to make nice little toasted baguette slices.

Yes! Follow the instructions but place the dip in a crock pot and heat up on high until warm- usually takes about 2 hours.
You can use fresh, but it takes a few more steps. You will want to cook down 1 lb of fresh spinach and then squeeze out the excess water.
Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring frequently until heated through. Alternatively, you can heat the dip back up in the oven at the same temperature as in the recipe.

Jennifer says
Do you increase the cook time for a double or triple batch?
Lisa says
You want to heat it through so depending on the dish you have (if it's a larger more shallow dish or small and deep) will determine how long you need to heat it up for.
