Can you make it ahead of time?

Of course! This recipe is so easy that there really is no reason to make it ahead of time, but if you do want to, just make the recipe as stated. Once the dip is melted and combined, you can transfer it to a container and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. When you are ready to serve it, put it back into the slow cooker and cook until it is heated all the way through again.

Can you cut it in half?

Yes - it's fairly easy to cut in half if you are serving it to a smaller crowd. Just use half the amount of the ingredients. You probably won't need as big of a slow cooker, as well.

How do you serve this crockpot spinach artichoke dip?

I like to just leave it in the slow cooker and have a large spoon so that people can dish out a serving. You do want to keep it warm, so if you choose to remove it from the crockpot to serve, just know you'll need to serve it quickly before it cools down too much. I like to serve this dip with tortilla chips, but it's also great with vegetables, like celery sticks or carrots.

Can you make it on the stovetop or in the oven?

You can make it in the oven, but I would suggest using this Spinach Artichoke Dip recipe that was made for baking. I have not tried making this on the stove, but I would assume it would work just fine. Again, though, you'll need to keep it warm while serving, and it may burn if kept on the stove without stirring.
