Jalapeno Popper Dip
Jalapeño Popper Dip is a creamy, cheesy appetizer with the spicy, savory flavor of jalapeño poppers in an easy baked dip.

- Add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Fold in the diced jalapeños, cooked bacon, and ½ cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Spread the dip into a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
- Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and the cheese is melted.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables.

Notes
- Soften the cream cheese first: Softened cream cheese mixes much more smoothly with the sour cream and mayo, so the dip does not end up lumpy.
- Remove the jalapeño seeds for less heat: Seeded jalapeños give the dip flavor without making it too spicy. Leave some seeds in if you want more heat.
- Fold in the mix-ins last: Folding in the jalapeños, bacon, and cheddar after the base is smooth helps keep everything evenly distributed.
- Use cooked bacon: Cook and dice the bacon before adding it to the dip so it has the best flavor and texture.
- Serve it warm: This dip is best served hot and bubbly, while the cheese is melted and the texture is creamy.
