Best Homemade Spinach Artichoke Dip!

Say goodbye to the store-bought, cold spinach artichoke dip. Those versions are quick, cheap, and packed with mayo. But once you try this warm and melty version… you’ll never go back.

Spinach artichoke dip is my favorite kind of savory dip. It has so much flavor, comforting cheese, and rich veggies.

This is the ultimate party dip! I’m yet to meet someone who doesn’t love it. Your party guests will lick the bowl clean.

I shared a stove-top version a few years ago, but this baked version has become my go-to. You’ll love how there’s no tending to this method—just mix and bake.
