Simply Irresistible Jalapeño Popper Dip

A time-tested crowd-pleaser! This jalapeno popper dip is rich, creamy, and mildly spicy.

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!

I’m so excited!

…You know how I go gaga over all things cheese, right? Well, I have yet another cheesy dip for you today. And this one has BACON in it! So naturally it’s the best dip ever! Right??

Jalapeño poppers are my favorite appetizer, but I almost prefer this dip version! Mostly because it’s 10 times easier to make than those individual snacks. And it still has that signature can’t-get-enough kind of amazing taste! It’s not just my opinion though, it’s proven time and time again at every party I’ve served it. Always disappears first.

Ok, enough rambling, grab a bag of chips and let’s get to dipping!

It’s so easy to make this dip and I feel silly to include step-by-step tutorial, but it’s a habit, so there you have it.

If you’re making this for a party, you can totally prepare everything a day in advance. And right before your guests show up, just sprinkle the Panko topping and pop it into the oven. A warm and cheesy dip will be ready for your guests in no time!

Seriously, if this is not an easy appetizer, I don’t know what is!

Enjoy!

Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons Panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a small dish, mix together panko, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and black pepper.
3. Cut the jalapeños in half length-wise. Remove the seeds and ribs inside. (If you want spicy dip, reserve some of the seeds.) Chop the seeded jalapeños into small pieces.

5. Add cooked bacon and chopped jalapeños and mix until well combined.
