Instructions

Preparation

Spray the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick spray.
Add softened cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker.
Stir until mixed; it will appear chunky at first.
Add drained spinach and chopped artichoke hearts, then stir again.

Cooking

Cover and cook on low for about 2 to 3 hours, stirring once or twice.
Alternatively, cook on high for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring more frequently.
Check for a smooth, creamy mixture and stir well until no chunks remain.

Notes

To keep the dip warm, switch the slow cooker to the warm setting after it has cooked. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on low heat, adding a bit of sour cream if it has thickened.
