Frozen spinach: Thawing your spinach is best for this spinach artichoke dip. Once it is thawed, remove as much water/liquid from the spinach.

Fresh spinach: You can use fresh spinach in this dip. Just make sure it is cooked before adding it to the mixture and then chop it up into pieces you prefer.
Canned spinach: I have not tried canned spinach but it can be used. You will want to drain it and also remove any extra liquid.
Artichokes: Jarred marinated artichoke hearts are great to use as well for more flavoring. If you would like a fresh artichoke, remove the prickly outside parts on the artichoke then chop it up.
Cheese: Substitute the cheese for Monterey Jack or fontina cheese for different flavoring.
Seasoning and spices: Add in garlic powder or for a spicy hot spinach artichoke dip try adding in red pepper flakes.
Slow cooker: To keep this spinach artichoke dip warm add it to a slow cooker on warm, stirring it occasionally.
