Spinach Artichoke Dip With Bacon

There’s spinach and artichoke dip, then there’s spinach BACON artichoke dip. Hot spinach artichoke dip with crispy bacon pieces is so easy! Made with just a handful of ingredients and ready in less than 30 minutes, this artichoke dip is our go-to for entertaining.

SPINACH BACON ARTICHOKE DIP

Artichoke is such a versatile ingredient and adds a beautiful, bitter, sweetness to everything it touches. Marinated artichoke hearts are perfect for a charcuterie board and blend seamlessly into creamy dishes like our Creamy Spinach Artichoke Chicken Thighs and Spinach Artichoke Stuffed Chicken Breast. One of my family’s favourite dips is our irresistibly creamy baked spinach artichoke dip recipe. Remaking it through the years and adding my own spin on it – like bacon, for example – blew all our minds. Such a simple addition but provides so much flavour. This is the best artichoke dip recipe around! SO MUCH FLAVOUR, it hurts to look at and not have in front of me. As if this Spinach Artichoke Dip Stuffed Chicken wasn’t enough, I had to swap out the chicken for bacon pieces to satisfy a huge craving.

HOW DO YOU MAKE SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP?

Bacon is first fried in the skillet, coating it in all the flavour before the dip is mixed through said flavour and baked in the oven, with mozzarella and parmesan slowly melting on top, filling your kitchen with the irresistible smell of bacon, cheese and garlic. Top with extra crispy bacon to ensure a generous amount of bacon with each and every mouth watering bite!

If you don’t own a skillet, you can still make this in a 9-inch, 2 quart (or 2 litre) baking dish. I placed this skillet in the middle of our dinner table, and to say it was gone in 5 minutes is a massive understatement.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH SPINACH BACON ARTICHOKE DIP?

Did someone say ‘cheese on cheese’? Because we freaking love cheese, we like to dip slices of Cheesy Garlic Bread in our dip. If extra cheese isn’t your thing, you can also scoop up your dip with some of our Fried Tortillas or slices of Flatbread. If you’re feeling especially hungry, throw a large dollop of your spinach bacon artichoke dip over some Crispy Garlic Potato Wedges for vegetarian loaded fries.
