Jalapeño Popper Dip
Jalapeno Popper Dip is creamy, cheesy and has just the perfect amount of kick. Great appetizer for your next party or watching the big game!
I love any excuse I can come up with for making, and subsequently devouring, all sorts of delicious dips. You might remember that a little over five years ago, I told you about going to a “dip party” at my friend’s house. That gathering brought us the Buffalo Chicken Dip, Hot Reuben Dip, and the Sausage Dip. It was a seriously genius idea. Chips and dip are one of the few things that leave me unable to stop eating. Once I grab a chip and start dipping, it becomes virtually impossible for me to put on the brakes.
Jalapeno popper dip is one of my all-time favorites… it’s incredibly easy to assemble and will be gone in the blink of an eye.
If you (or anyone you’re serving this to) is sensitive to spicy foods, I would rank this pretty far on the mild side, maybe a 2 or 3? You’d think because of the amount of jalapeño peppers that it might be spicier, but it’s fairly tame, so dip away!

This jalapeño popper dip is everything that makes jalapeño poppers so addicting, and then some. It’s ooey, gooey, creamy, cheesy and spicy. It has bacon. It has a cheesy, buttery breadcrumb crust. It’s dip heaven. And it would definitely go well with a cold beer.
I’m already craving another batch!

This looks amazing. I love dips myself. I have made Buffalo Chicken Dip, Pizza Dip and a few others over the years. My favorites were the Pizza Dip and the 7 Layered Dip. They seemed to go over the best with my friends. Thanks for this one! Mmmm can’t wait to try it.
This is another one of those recipes that makes me go…. WHY have I not made this allready??? Definatly going to be made for the next get together or pot luck we attend. Love anything spicey and cheesey…. and of course with bacon!

Oh. My. Goodness! I LOVE poppers…..this is awesome!
Any recipe that starts out with two blocks of cream cheese is A-OK in my book! :-)
Fabulous! I make poppers and use crumbled chorizo in the mix- think it would be a great substitute for bacon!
and smoked gouda too!
This sounds so yummy. Both I and my husband love jalapeno peppers. I’m for sure going to make this.
This is genius! I love jalapeno poppers and can imagine this dip tasting divine!
Great dip for game night!

This dip sounds so good….tortilla chips are my favorite food group!
I made a version of this dip not long ago! It was the perfect dip for a sports watching party! My Boy LOVED it!
Next time we have a party I am going to have to make this. My husband would flip for this dip! Thanks!
I love making dips! But I haven’t had a party to bring an appetizer to in so long. I am usually the one hosting and the deal we have with friends is whoever hosts does the entree and everyone else brings the rest.
My mouth is watering as we speak. Great idea!!
I love jalapeno poppers! This is great.
seriously, my husband will die of happiness!
This dip is such a great idea! I bet it disappears quickly.
Perfect! I have some leftover jalapenos in my fridge :D
This is my kind of dip! Great recipe!
