Make this creamy, cheesy, and slightly spicy Jalapeño Popper Dip. It is simple to prepare and perfect for game days, parties, or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 ounces canned diced green chiles, drained
  • 1 cup pickled or fresh diced jalapeños, drained (adjust to your heat preference)
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish or a similar-sized oven-safe skillet.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and mayonnaise. Mix until the base is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Stir in the diced green chiles, diced jalapeños, and the crumbled bacon into the cheese mixture. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  4. Spread the dip mixture into your prepared baking dish.
  5. Top the dip evenly with the Monterey Jack cheese. If you are using breadcrumbs, sprinkle them over the top layer of cheese.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot throughout and the cheese topping is melted and lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • For a low-carb option, skip the panko breadcrumbs.
  • If you prefer fresh jalapeños, remove the seeds and white membranes for less heat before dicing.
  • You can prepare the mixture a day ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Add 5 extra minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.
