This artichoke spinach dip recipe is so quick and easy, but to make it even easier, you can make it ahead of time and then re-heat or bake it the day that you want to serve it. Our test kitchen has made this hot cheesy dip it by mixing it in large batches and placed them in baking dishes and chilled them in the fridge. When the party day arrives, take out the dip and allow it to come to room temperature, then bake it at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until all the cheese is completely melted and hot. That’s the oven version.
Make-Ahead Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe
But to make it even more easy and equally delicious, we’ve tested it by making it ahead of time in a pan. Then allowed the dip to cool, then refrigerated it. On the day we wanted to serve it, we just let it come to room temperature and re-heated it on the stove top. It tastes just as good as the oven version. It’s a winner recipe because every time we’ve made and served it, people are blown away at how delicious and super easy it was to make it.
It’s the perfect holiday cheese dip appetizer and amazing game day appetizer recipe. For any gathering, there has to be an awesome spinach artichoke dip at the table and you’ll want to be the one who brings the best one ever!
Enjoy.

I made this for a party and there was so much other food it didn’t get put out …does it freeze well
Best Recipe Box says
Hi Bridget, we’ve never frozen it before after it’s been cooked. If we make it again we’ll test it frozen and see how it thaws. Will let you know when it happens!
Susan says
Very interested in finding out if it can be frozen. Have you tested it yet?

Hi Susan, we haven’t tested it yet but if we do we will let you know! And if anyone else commenting here has, please chime in! thank you.

Kristi Fisher says
Instead of mayo could you use Greek yogurt? And the milk be soy milk? Just trying to make this healthier.
Best Recipe Box says
Hi Kristi, we’re not sure if the greek yogurt has enough fat in it and how well it would bake. We’ve never baked with greek yogurt or soy milk before. Hopefully one of our readers will have some input and share their experience. If turns out well for you please let us know!
Cathy says

Best Recipe Box says
Hi Cathy, that’s totally awesome that you added the water chestnuts! What a great idea.

We made this tonight, and it was sooo goooood!! We added 1/2 block of mozzarella cheese, and substituted Sour Cream instead of Mayo, because that’s what we had on hand… Will definitely be making this for family get togethers!

I am also wondering if it can be frozen after it’s made?

Hi Jan, glad you enjoyed the recipe and thanks for the comment! We’ve never frozen it before but we’re assuming the thawed version might not taste the same. If you tried it, please let us know how it turns out!
