Warm, cheesy and utterly delicious, this Hot Artichoke Dip is guaranteed to be one of your favorite recipes. It’s an easy appetizer that takes 10 minutes of prep, and it’s perfect for holidays or any occasion!
I’m a huge snack person, so I always look forward to appetizers at a gathering.
When I’m hosting, I love having a variety of dips such as Greek tzatziki and pico de gallo, and a cheese board is always the hit of any party.
This time of year when the weather gets cooler, it doesn’t get better than a warm, cheesy dip like Maryland crab dip or this Hot Artichoke Dip recipe!
This dip is a special recipe that a family member made at almost every gathering before she passed away, and it’s impossible not to think about her when I make it.
It’s unlike most artichoke dip recipes as it doesn’t contain cream cheese, it’s got twice as many artichoke hearts, and its comprised mostly of cheddar and parmesan cheese.
What truly sets it apart is diced chilis, which cuts through the richness with a slight kick of heat.
This is one crowd pleasing appetizer that’s also ridiculously easy to make.
I love when that happens. 🙂
Why you’ll love this recipe:
- This hot artichoke dip recipe is warm, cheesy and packed with artichoke hearts and diced chilis for a slightly spicy flavor.
- It comes together in 10 minutes with 6 simple ingredients.
- It’s extremely versatile and can be customized with your favorite cheeses, herbs, etc.
- This is a crowd pleasing appetizer that’s great for holidays or any occasion.
Recipe ingredients
Ingredient notes
- Artichoke hearts. For best results, use artichoke hearts packed in water, not marinated artichoke hearts. When chopping the artichokes, discard any tough parts that are hard to cut through as they’ll be difficult to chew.
- Cheese. The cheese is the primary ingredients as this dip includes 2 cups of grated cheddar and 1 cup of grated parmesan. That may sound like a lot (and it is!), but I’ve tried to use less and it’s just not the same. Feel free to substitute with your favorite varieties of cheese.
- Mayonnaise. The mayo adds richness and creaminess, and helps bind the dip together.
- Sour cream. This adds a nice tangy flavor, but if you don’t have any on hand it may be substituted with Greek yogurt or more mayonnaise.
- Diced chilis. Use medium spiced diced chilis as mild chilis don’t impart a lot of flavor. If you don’t have any on hand, substitute with about 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes or 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

Made it exactly like the recipe and everyone loved it. I wonder it it could be made in a crockpot?-
Marcie — Reply
It sure can Susan — it just wouldn’t really get golden brown on top but it would still taste great!
