Prep Ingredients

Drain spinach from excess water.
Drain can of artichoke hearts. Artichoke hearts do not need to be chopped from the quartered size, but if looking for a less chunky dip just chop down into smaller bite sized pieces.

How to make Spinach Artichoke Dip in the Oven

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Use a stick of butter to coat the sides and bottom of a 9 x 11 pan to help prevent excess sticking.
In a bowl, combine thawed and drained spinach dip, drained artichoke hearts, softened cream cheese spread, freshly shaved Parmesan cheese, sour cream, mayo and cooked chopped bacon.
Combine all ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Dump spinach artichoke dip into casserole dish and use a spatula to even the top.
Put dip into oven for approximately 15-20 minutes until its warm, melted, and slightly brown around the edges.
Serve spinach artichoke dip with vegetables (to keep it keto), pieces of French bread, or pita chips while dip is still hot and melty.
How to make Crock Pot Spinach Artichoke Dip

2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Stir in cream cheese and mix well to incorporate.

Notes

OVEN TIMING: Times on warming Spinach Artichoke Dip vary from 15-20 minutes. I personally start checking at the 15 minute point. The spinach artichoke dip should have some slight browning where the Parmesan cheese is and be hot and bubbly around the edges.
SLOW COOKER: This dip can be translated easily to slow cooker by combining ingredients and placing into a slow cooker for 1 hour on high or 2-3 hours on low. When cheese is melted and hot, it's ready to be served. See article for full instructions.
