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!

  1. Would it be weird if I just ate this with a spoon? Maybe? Okay, i’ll use a chip or two. Bust seriously, this looks divine! Saving this for our next little get together!

  2. Can I just say YUM!! I’m a huge lover of jalapeno poppers, now that it is in dip form I’m in absolute heaven! I would love for you to come link up tonight at Throw Back Thursdays!

  3. This looks absolutely wonderful. I could eat this for breakfast. I love the flavors you’ve used with Parmesan and Panko, and of course you can’t forget the Jalapenos. Great combo.

  4. I love anything jalapeno popper related… and in dip form? Oh YES! This sounds amazing! And I’ve got some jalapenos coming up in the garden – yay 🙂 Thanks for sharing! #FoodieFriDIY

    1. Me too. I can’t wait to harvest bunch of jalapeños from my MIL’s garden to make some jalapeño poppers. 🙂 Thanks, Kathryn!
