A simple, hot, and creamy dip featuring classic bacon jalapeño popper flavors, perfect for parties or game days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup pickled or fresh jalapeño slices (remove seeds for less heat)
- 4 ounces green chiles, drained
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until smooth.
- Stir in the crumbled bacon, jalapeño slices, green chiles, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot throughout and the top is lightly golden brown.
- Let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- For less heat, remove all seeds and white membranes from the jalapeños before slicing.
- You can assemble the dip up to 24 hours ahead of time; cover and refrigerate. Add 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
- Serve with tortilla chips, sturdy crackers, celery sticks, or baguette slices.
