Notes
Spinach: You can also use frozen spinach, although I prefer fresh. Thaw it and squeeze out all the extra liquid. Artichokes: I use jarred marinated artichoke hearts for the best flavor. Remove any prickly parts on the artichokes when chopping.Make-ahead: Combine all ingredients in slow cooker base and then refrigerate up to 24 hours in advance. Let sit at room temperature while the oven heats up. Storage: Store leftovers in a covered container for up to 3 days. You can reheat in the microwave in small portions.
