    Cheesy Jalapeno Popper Dip

    How to Make Jalapeño Popper Cheese Dip

    I can't believe that it's already Fall and time for Football!  Football, I think, is my favorite sport!  It probably has more to do with spending time together as a family and noshing on food then it does on the actual sport!

    I will admit though that jalapeños are one of those foods that I have a love/hate relationship with. I will eat them if they are mixed into a dip or in a recipe, like in a popper or dip, when they aren't really overpowering, however, I can't just slice one up and eat it. I'm weird, I know, but it's just one of the foods I can eat in a variety of ways just like in this yummy Jalapeño Popper Cheese Dip!

    If you love appetizers like I do, then make sure to check out these other delicious recipes that your family will love! Of course no tailgate or family game night is complete without homemade pico! This recipe is so easy to make and is simply delicious! Another family favorite is my Hot Italian Subs. Quick, simple, and hot and fresh. And lastly another favorite that can be served for so many occasions is this Garlic Flatbread. You'll be amazed how easy it is and at how good it is!

    Expert Tips, Ingredient List and Suggestions for Recipe Success

    Jalapeños - you can also use frozen or canned. Just thaw them out and squeeze the water off of them if you use the frozen.
    Cream cheese - regular or lite. Totally up to you.
    Mayonnaise - any brand will do.
    Cheese - you can honestly use pepper jack, hot pepper, mozzarella, or any combination your family loves.

    I learned this key part of recipe prep a long time ago!  When you don't use food grade disposable gloves when prepping peppers, the juice from the peppers get underneath your finger nails and all it is going to take is for you to rub your eyes, nose, etc., and you will quickly see WHY wearing gloves is key!

    Ingredients for Jalapeño Popper Cheese Dip

    Should I Remove the Seeds Or Leave Them In?

    That is totally up to you.  When you leave the seeds in the pepper, it will make the recipe spicier.

    Why This Recipe Works

    Because it's so versatile.   If bacon isn't your thing, then you don't need to add it.  Want more cheese?  Add what you would like!  Not a fan of bread? You could use pita chips, tortilla chips, or anything else you prefer!  A spoon would be great too!

    This recipe is pretty easy to put together!  I think it will really be a hit at your next tailgate or even family movie night!

    Cheesy Jalapeno Popper Cheese Dip

    Step by Step Directions

    Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. If using a cast iron skillet, put the skillet into the oven and allow it to preheat along with the oven. Also, lay out the cream cheese so it can begin to soften.

    Step 2: Put on a pair of food safe gloves and seed and dice the jalapeños and set aside. Then wash the knife and the cutting board then remove the gloves and throw them away.

    Step 3: In a medium-sized bowl, add in the cream cheese, sour cream, the mayonnaise, and the garlic powder.

    Step 4: Then using an electric or hand-held mixer, mix on low speed until the mixture is well combined and creamy.

    Step 5: Next, add in the 2 cups of shredded cheese, ¾ th of the bacon and the diced jalapeños. Stir to combine.

    Step 6: Remove the cast iron skillet from the oven and then transfer the cheesy jalapeno mixture into the skillet.

    Step 7: Top with the remaining ingredients.

    Step 8: Bake in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly and the cheese is lightly browned.

    Step 9: Serve immediately.
