Ingredients 

  • 16 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup mayo
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 28 oz artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 2 cups parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1.5 tbsp BBQ rub
  • OPTIONAL TOPPING
  • Fresh grated parmesan cheese

Instructions 

  • Add the cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, spinach, chopped artichokes, and parmesan cheese to a cast iron skillet, spreading everything evenly without mixing too aggressively.
  • Preheat your smoker to 350°F using a balanced wood pellet blend for a smooth, mild smoke that complements the creamy dip.
  • Place the cast iron skillet on the smoker and cook for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure the cheese melts evenly and nothing sticks to the bottom.
  • During the cook, stir in the BBQ rub until fully incorporated. Optionally add this in the beginning of the cook.
  • Continue smoking until the dip is fully melted, creamy, and bubbling around the edges.
  • Remove from the smoker and, if desired, top with fresh grated parmesan cheese before placing under a broiler for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve hot straight from the skillet with chips, bread, or veggies and enjoy while it’s warm and ultra-creamy.
