A creamy, cheesy baked dip with spicy jalapeños and savory bacon, perfect for game day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 23 jalapeños, seeded and finely diced
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, diced jalapeños, crumbled bacon, and garlic powder.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly into a small baking dish (an 8×8 inch dish works well).
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and lightly golden brown on top.
  7. Serve hot with your favorite dippers like tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • For a milder dip, remove all seeds and membranes from the jalapeños. For extra heat, leave some seeds in.
  • You can prepare the dip ahead of time and bake it just before serving.
  • Consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
  • This dip is also delicious made in a slow cooker on the “warm” setting for a few hours.
