Creamy Spinach Dip for Game Day

One of our favorite dips to bring to a party with a veggie tray is a cheesy, creamy, spinach dip!  There are so many ways to make it that are not so healthy, but with a few modifications, we can make it not only good for you, but super tasty too!

Making a side dish for a party (especially when you are hosting), is so much better when you use a slow cooker! I learned this a few years ago when I hosted Thanksgiving.  In order to have my dishes stay warm, and also have a chance to clean the kitchen and cook the turkey, I used a slow cooker for my side dishes! It was way easier.

If you are hosting a party, we have an awesome round up of slow cooker side dishes for you. These are perfect to share with your friends on “game day!”

First up- is our very own CREAMY SPINACH DIP!

For this dip added all these ingredients to our Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker

• 8 ounces light cream cheese
• 1 cup spinach
• 1 jar artichoke hearts
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2 cup yogurt
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese

We cooked it on low for only about 2 hours. Then, I opened the lid, and gave it a stir.  Returned to cooking on low for 1 more hour.

Although it doesn’t take long to cook, it gives you plenty of time to cut the veggies and clean the house for guests.
