Jalapeno Popper Dip

By kayjayjohnson

Eliminate the need for filling peppers with cream cheese and wrapping them in bacon to get poppers by combining your ingredients in a baked dip for all the flavor and less hassle!

Ingredients

• DIP:
• 6 to 8 slices of bacon, cooked and diced
• 2 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup of mayonnaise
• 4 to 6 jalapenos, chopped and deseeded. The seeds will make it fiery hot.
• 1 cup of cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/4 cup diced green onion
• TOPPING:
• 1 cup of crushed crackers (I used Ritz)
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• 1/2 stick of butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

DIP:
Combine bacon, cream cheese, mayonnaise, jalapenos, cheddar, mozzarella, and green onion in a medium bowl. Stir well.

Transfer to an oven proof dish. The size of the dish depends on how thick the dip is. The thicker the dip the longer it may need to warm up. I used a stoneware dish that is round and measures 12 inches across. My dip is usually about an inch thick.

Combine the topping ingredients and sprinkle all over the top of the dip.

Bake the dip for 20 to 30 minutes or until bubbly.
