How To Make Baked Jalapeño Artichoke Dip
Make the Creamy Base. With a hand or stand mixer, mix together cream cheese, mayo and sour cream to create the creamy base for the dip.
Add the Goodies. Fold in Parmesan and Swiss cheeses before adding artichokes, spinach, jalapeños and garlic. Fold all ingredients together. Squeeze lemon juice and add salt and pepper. Give it a good stir.
Bake. Spoon dip into greased baking dish. Spread to evenly cover the dish. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Serve warm.
Crock Pot Jalapeño Artichoke Dip
Spray the inside of your crock pot with non stick cooking spray. Prepare dip according to the recipe. Instead of a baking dish, spoon the dip into your prepared crock pot, spreading the dip to evenly fill the dish. Put on the lid and bake on low for 2-3 hours/ high for 1 hour or until melted and bubbly. Turn the slow cooker down to warm and serve!

Making Ahead and Storing Instructions
- Put this artichoke dip together the night before without baking it to make the day of your party go more smoothly.

How to Reheat Jalapeño Artichoke Dip
If you happen to have any leftovers that need reheating, I think this dip is best reheated in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Transfer leftover dip to a smaller oven safe dish. Place in oven until heated all the way through and bubbly.
