Make this rich, cheesy, and spicy baked dip perfect for game days or gatherings. It features cream cheese, bacon, and fresh jalapeños.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup diced fresh jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
  3. Stir in the Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, diced jalapeños, and green onions. Mix well to distribute ingredients evenly.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot throughout and the top is lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving with tortilla chips, crackers, or low-carb vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • For a keto jalapeno dip variation, skip any crackers and serve only with celery or bell pepper strips.
  • If you prefer a slow-cooker version, combine all ingredients except the Parmesan topping. Cook on low for 2 hours, stirring halfway through. Top with Parmesan and cook for 10 more minutes until hot.
  • Use pickled jalapeños if fresh ones are unavailable, but drain them well first.
