Make this creamy, cheesy, and slightly spicy Jalapeño Popper Dip. It is a simple, hot appetizer perfect for game days or parties, served warm with chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup chopped pickled jalapeño peppers (drained)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh jalapeño peppers (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 4 slices cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish or small oven-safe skillet.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth.
  3. Stir in the chopped pickled jalapeños, fresh jalapeños, and crumbled bacon, if using. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  5. Top the dip evenly with the Monterey Jack cheese.
  6. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot throughout and the cheese topping is melted and lightly golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onion before serving.
  8. Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • For a low-carb option, serve this dip with celery sticks or bell pepper strips instead of chips.
  • If you prefer a milder dip, use only pickled jalapeños and omit the fresh jalapeños.
  • You can prepare the dip mixture up to 24 hours in advance and store it covered in the refrigerator. Add 5 minutes to the baking time if baking cold.
