Make Ahead Instructions:
To Make Ahead: This baked artichoke dip can be made up to 1 day ahead of time. Don’t bake it and store it in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Allow it to sit on the counter for about 30 minutes to come to room temperature before baking.
Recipe Variations:
- Add spinach: Check out my spinach artichoke dip. Mix spinach with the artichokes before combining with the mayo mixture. Then stir everything together and follow the same cooking directions listed below.
- Make it healthier: Feel free to substitute Greek yogurt in place of sour cream and use low fat cream cheese.

Recipe from my good friend, Elaine Jolley.
Have you tried this recipe?!
RATE and COMMENT below! I would love to hear your experience.
I originally shared this recipe December 2016. Updated August 2021.

This was my 3th of July contribution – added a bit of fresh spinach & chives from the garden. Made again on the 4th with fresh crab, but w/o spinach. Served with crackers & fresh veggies; no leftovers is always a good sign! I greased the bowl for easy cleanup. A Keeper.
Very easy and very yummy. It’s a win win!
Could this be microwaved rather than cooked in the oven?
Yes, you can definitely make this artichoke dip in the microwave! Mix all the ingredients as described and place them in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave on high for about 5-7 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the dip is hot and bubbly. Make sure to watch it closely to avoid overheating since all microwaves work differently!
I doubled the recipe and used 2 14.5 oz cans of artichokes and added a can of mild diced green Chiles, and extra parmesan/reggiano cheese.
Yum!!!!
Can you make and put in small crock pot to heat and serve.
Sure! That’s a great idea.
Just put this together to bake for Super Bowl tomorrow. I didn’t use dill but I did add in one chopped jalapeño and doubled the recipe 🙂. I have a feeling this is going to be a hit.
Sounds good, cannot wait to try it. Can you use marinated artichoke which is what I have on hand
I want to make the spinach artichoke dip. How much spinach? Fresh baby spinach or frozen?
Here’s the recipe, with all that info: https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/spinach-artichoke-dip/
This is, hands down, the BEST artichoke dip I’ve ever found 😋 I’ve gone through a lot of recipes and just about given up to, lol. I have some in the oven right now and my mouth is watering! Next time I might add a bit of spinach for a walk on the wild side 😂 Thanks for the recipe. Super Delish!
As easy as it is delicious!!
This looks great – I can’t wait to make it! Can this be served cold, or is it meant to be hot dip? Just asking because I plan to make it ahead of time but may not be able to heat it before serving. Thanks so much:)
Lost this recipe years ago. Been missing it because it is SO GOOD! First had it at a 5 star hotel.
Loved this recipe. Added a bit of tabasco sauce and leftover rotisserie chicken chopped super fine.
One of the quickest, simplest yet decadent & delicious appetizers that us appropriate for myriad of occasions.
Sounds delicious will definitely try it out
I used marinated aritichokes, left out the dill and added chopped jalapeños. It was delicious!
Even the kids love this! We can only find 12oz jars of artichokes here, but we actually use two of them in this recipe without doubling anything else. Makes a chunkier dip, but we like it that way. Also we don’t measure the garlic or dill, we just use however much looks right that day. Thank you for this delicious recipe!
Didn’t have spinach, but did have broccoli. So used it instead. OH my but was it GOOD. Thank you.
Fixed for Christmas buffet! Delicious… not too salty… used fresh crostini bread …. Great hit at family gathering… made nice got before then baked next day… thank you for a great recipe, will definitely make again…
Fast and easy to make dip. My family loves it every time it is made. Will try adding spinach next time just to change it up a little. I would highly recommend. No dill added, family does not like the taste, still turned out great.
Just a suggestion. I guess it’s my age and the amount of things going on Christmas Eve but I read the ingredients and just saw the word marinated next to the artichokes. Needless to say I wasted so many ingredients and time making this using the wrong ones. Maybe take that out and use plain?? I don’t know. Guess I just need to slow down. Lol.
I noticed your recipe says 8 ounce can artichoke, is that supposed to say 14 ounce artichoke?
8 oz. is correct! If your can is 15 oz. you can double the recipe!
Ok, I can’t find 8 ounce anywhere. So I will stick with 14 ounce because I really think that is what she means. Thank you
Didn’t care for that much mayo…I ended up adding some cream cheese …
Delish! Making again for Christmas Eve party!
Me too! I omit the Mayo and just use sour cream!
I made it for Thanksgiving and it was a hit everyone loved it.
It came out nicely. we went light on the dill as I am not a dill fan, and baked it for a bit longer to get it slightly more browned.
This was AMAZING, thank you so much for the wonderful recipe!!
I just made a half version if this to eat before pasta and sauce dinner, my family gobbled it up, yum!!!!
Very sour flavor. I suggest less sour cream or substitute real cream instead.
Going in oven now, what a great recipe! 👍 thank you and Happy Easter Sunday! N. Idaho ~Kel
I’ve been throwing this all in the crockpot and put on low when I have guests and its been such a favorite. I personally love dill and I think it’s what really puts it as my favorite!
I haven’t made it yet. You mentioned a slow cooker. Do you have slow cooker directions?
It’s in the recipe notes. Add everything to the slow cooker and cook on high for 2 hours. Stir well before serving.
This recipe is amazing! Followed it as is with the exception of the dill so I just sprinkled some Thyme over top I will never use a different recipe. Thank you!!!
I serve this scrumptious dip in a toasted hollowed out French loaf and serve it with the inside pieces of bread that are toasted as well….makes an eye-pleasing centerpiece to your gathering and tastes amazing…bon Appétit!!
All I have are marinated artichoke hearts. Can I use those in place of water-packed hearts?
Yes, that will be fine 🙂
Also great if you leave out the dill and add diced jalapeños or chili peppers!
OhMyGosh – What a GREAT idea to sub the jalapenosin lieu of dill – Should give the dip a ‘little’ kick — Thank you!!
Can I use fresh artichoke instead of canned?
Sure, if you cook it first!
If this recipe is doubled should I cook it for the same amount of time if it’s in a longer pan?
Yes, that will be fine!
😋✨Delicious
if we don’t eat all of it can we refrigerate leftovers and reheat in a few days?
Yes, definitely! Enjoy!
Made this for a meeting. I doubled the garlic and artichokes. Served with celery sticks. Excellent!!! I’ll make this regularly.
How much spinach would you add? Would you wilt it first? Use frozen? I’d like to add some, but I don’t want to wreck the dip haha!
Yes, use frozen but thaw it first and squeeze out the liquid. Here’s my recipe for Spinach Artichoke dip (link above in the post as well): https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/spinach-artichoke-dip/
I left the garlic clove out, I used mozzarella shredded cheese about 3/4of a 8 ounce bag instead of parmesian which we don’t like other than that I followed the recipe. I drained and rinsed my artichoke hearts to get some sodium out and used light cream cheese, hellmans canola mayo and light sour cream it turned out great but I baked it more than 20 minutes, around 30
Can I use shredded parmesan?
Yes 🙂
Are there additional instructions if you wish to make the dip ahead of time? Do you simply assemble it in the casserole dish and stick it in the refrigerator until you are ready to pop it into the oven?
Yes, that’s exactly right 🙂
Great dip. Family loves it.
Your written recipe calls for 1 clove of garlic minced. I didn’t see it used in the recipe directions or video. If you use it when do you put it in?
Updated, thanks! You just add it to the mix with everything in step 2 🙂
Read # 2
Can I put this in a crockpot o warm after it has cooked?
Yes, that would work fine! 🙂
I like to add a little bit of chopped jalapenos in mine to spice it up a bit! This looks amazing, making it for my Bible Study group tomorrow!
hi can this dip be frozen?
Hi Rosanne, I wouldn’t suggest freezing this dip because it has mayonnaise and sour cream in it. Mayonnaise separates when frozen, and the sour cream will have a different texture.
HI! I am planning to make this in the morning, it looks terrific and easy.
Can I use one of my corningware round baking dishes? I have 3 diff sizes..
Hi Jessica, that should work great! hope you enjoy it!
This is a great recipe. We added sausage and green chilies to spice it up!!!!
So happy you like it! I love your adaptation and thanks so much for commenting and following Tastes Better From Scratch!
This is a perfect party appetizer!
🙂
Would you please confirm the type of Parmesan cheese? The grated kind in the plastic shaker jar or freshly grated?
Thank you.
Freshly grated parmesan cheese is best! 🙂 Hope you enjoy it!
Not going to lie, I’m extremely tempted to turn this into tonight’s dinner for one. LOVE a good spinach and artichoke dip, and this one looke amazing!!
Great idea! Thank you for sharing ! Happy holidays !
