Crockpot Spinach Artichoke Dip

Tomorrow is Easter. My family celebrates it by getting together to share a meal. My immediate family is around 30 people, so we each bring a dish potluck style. A lot of my family is really considerate and brings something that is gluten-free so I can eat what they bring. This is not always the case when I go to other potlucks.
One of my favorite potluck carry-along dishes is a recipe from one of my former co-workers that I modified for a crock-pot. Kudos to Mandi for the original awesome recipe. I doubled the original recipe to feed my large family which makes it ideal for a large crowd.

Stoneware sprayed = easy cleanup

Spinach Artichoke Dip
Can of Pam cooking Spray
1- 14 oz can of Reese Artichokes, drained and chopped
2- 10 oz packages of Frozen Spinach, drained and thawed
1-16 oz tub of sour cream
2 Cups of Low-fat Hellman's Mayo
4 Cloves of Garlic, chopped or pressed
1 cup of Fresh Parmesan Cheese, grated

First spray the crockpot stoneware with Pam. It's a must anytime you cook in a crockpot. It makes clean up easier. I have a rather large crockpot. I think it is a 6 quart crockpot.
Mix the thawed spinach, artichokes, mayo, sour cream, and garlic. I mix it right in the crockpot. I cook it until the cheese is golden and bubbly. An hour on low or 30 minutes on High. My crockpot has a warm feature that is awesome for parties and gatherings.
I love that I can prep this recipe the night before. I throw the stoneware in the fridge and then warm it the next day. We can go to church, then go home pick it up, bring it to the party and cook it there while the rest of my family arrives.

Dip without cheese topping

With cheese topping

If you don't have a crockpot you can put this recipe in 2 - 13x 9 pyrex dishes. Bake at 350 degrees until the cheese is bubbly and golden. You may want to add more cheese to this version since there will be more surface area to cover.

Serve this recipe with your favorite gluten-free tortilla chips. I love Mission tortilla chips.

Happy Easter!

It's party size for more fun!
