Oh. My. Word. I have found my new favorite dip. (And you know I love a lot of dips.) This jalapeno popper dip I found on Real Mom Kitchen is cheesy, salty and a little bit spicy. In short, it’s everything I love in a dip (and, let’s be honest, food in general).
Our small group decided this fall to take turns bringing snacks instead of a full dinner, since we also chose to try actually doing a Bible study now that the kids are a little older and slightly less disruptive. I loved our dinners but I was excited to try out some of the [many] appetizer recipes I’d pinned and tagged. So a couple weeks ago, I made this dip and another one (oooh, the suspense – can you stand it?!).
I think our friends enjoyed both dips, but I was secretly glad to bring home a good portion of this one. And I’m only a little embarrassed to admit that Mark and I devoured the rest of it as we vegged out on the couch later that night!
Jalapeno Popper Dip
2 (8 oz) packages of light cream cheese, softened
1 cup light mayo
1 (4 oz) can of diced green chilies
1/2 of a (4 oz) can of diced jalapeño peppers
1 cup Monterrey jack cheese, shredded
6 slices of bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the cream cheese and mayo together, then fold in the chilies, peppers, cheese and bacon. (I couldn’t find a small can of jalapenos, so I actually just spooned out some sliced peppers from a jar I had in the fridge and chopped them up. Also, I’d recommend using the baking method for your bacon. It’s so easy, way less mess and makes the crispiest bacon!)
Spray a 8 or 9-inch baking dish, then spread in the cheese mixture evenly. Combine the bread crumbs and Parmesan, then cover the dip. Spray the top with baking spray, and bake for 25-30 minutes.
What’s your favorite kind of dip? Do you like jalapeno poppers? (I’ve actually never had one!)

Oh. My. Word! I like dips, but don’t really make them…but, this one looks and sounds so delicious! Like “Oops…I ran out of chips, but I have a spoon so that will work.” Delicious. So making this!
My husband will LOVE this. I will be trying soon!
Found you on Kelly’s Korner, and I just bookmarked this recipe. Sounds delicious- thanks for sharing it!
You’re quite welcome. I think I originally found it on another blog on another link-up at Kelly’s Korner!
I am making this and at the end cover and spray the top?? the top of the tinfoil?
Well, I can see your confusion based on how I wrote that! Sorry! No, cover the dip with the crumbs and cheese mixture, then spray the crumbs and cheese mixture. :) Enjoy!
I have made this numerous times and have been asked for the recipe EVERY time. It is so delicious and addicting!! Definitely a must-try.
Awesome! Glad you like it, Noelle! I made it just last weekend at my husband’s request! :)
