Cheesy Jalapeno Popper Dip

Cheesy Jalapeno Popper Dip

Today I am sharing an appetizer recipe for Cheesy Jalapeno Popper Dip, and it’s amazing.

There’s a reason jalapeno poppers are so popular, their flavors are incredible!!!

I’ve put quite a few twists and spins on them including Bacon Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls and even Jalapeno Popper Chicken Salad.

It can be cooked in the oven or cooked on the smoker for extra flavor.

Amazing when served warm, but as it cools off it’s just as good at room temperature.

I brought this to my son’s end of the season party for our football family and everyone loved it đŸ™‚

Serve with tortilla chips or Fritos Scoops for dipping.

How to Make Cheesy Jalapeno Popper Dip

Really the only prep work is frying 10 slices of bacon.

I like to set a skillet over medium heat and use kitchen scissors to put the bacon into the skillet.

Cook 6 to 8 minutes and then remove and set the bacon crumbles on a plate lined with paper towels.

Get the rest of these ingredients out as the bacon cooks.

And dice 3 to 4 jalapenos, removing the seeds so this dip isn’t overwhelmed with spice.

dip ingredients

Spray a large cast iron skillet or casserole dish with nonstick spray.

Then add two blocks cream cheese, two cups shredded cheese, the cooked bacon, diced jalapenos, mayo, diced green onions, and dry ranch seasoning.

No need to stir right away.

We will bake or smoke this for a bit and then stir, making it super simple since it will already be warm.

dip before cooking

Place in the oven at 300 degrees for 20 minutes to start.

Or in a smoker set to 225 degrees for 45 minutes.

Then give it a good stir until it comes together into one gorgeous dip.

Then either keep in the oven for 20 more minutes or back into the smoker for an additional 45 minutes.

It will be melted together perfectly and smelling fabulous!

before adding cheese over top

Top with a little more cheese and green onions if desired.

In my opinion it looked a little prettier with the extra cheese and green onions đŸ™‚
