Crockpot Spinach Dip and Crackers
When shopping for crackers to use with Spinach Artichoke Dip, you can’t go wrong with classic butter crackers like RITZ. Any sturdy cracker will also work well. Vegetable crackers will complement the veggie flavors in the dip, or peppered water crackers will add a nice bite. Try using tortilla chips or toasted baguette slices for a fun variety, or sliced mini bell peppers to add a bright crunch.
Here are some other recipes using crackers:

Frequently Asked Questions
You can use frozen chopped spinach if you squeeze out as much water as you can. Please defrost before adding to the slow cooker to aid in the water removal and to keep cooking time uniform.
If you don’t have fresh garlic you can sub ½ teaspoon garlic powder, but don’t use garlic salt as it will make the dip far too salty.
Chop your artichoke hearts and the spinach to prevent huge chunks being in the dip.
You can substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream, you can also use lite mayonnaise and cream cheese in place of the full fat variety.
Use a smaller round slow cooker to avoid burning or overcooking.

Excellent! Way more flavorful than any I’ve had before. Using fresh spinach is so much easier than dealing with frozen.

Can you use a bigger (6qt slow cooker? Does it make any difference?
You can double it if you’d like or just watch the cook time. It might take less time because the ingredients are more spread out. Enjoy!
Slow cooker for the win! I love this recipe!

Baked chicken brown rice vegetable Casserole: my brown rice was not done. I cut the recipe in half. The chicken and flavor were wonderful. I put it back I. The oven for 15 minutes. Better but not 100% done. Any sugggestions
Was the stock you put in boiling hot? I know that can make the difference in the cooking time, especially with the rice. Glad to hear the chicken was wonderful though. 🙂
