There is nothing I love more than a good party dip. And by that I mean a really good party dip. With March Madness in full swing and Cinco de Mayo around the corner (not to mention summer patio and pool parties) it got me thinking…what’s an easy appetizer dip? Ding, ding, Jalapeno Popper Dip! It’s my go-to party appetizer.  

Easy Jalapeno Popper Dip Recipe

I can’t think of anything I love more than cheese. Well, maybe bacon, and guess what? They are both in this easy recipe. Add rich cream cheese and diced jalapeno peppers and you have the perfect game day food. If you love jalapeno poppers, trust me, you will love this jalapeno popper dip.

This recipe is a combination of rich cream cheese, mayo and sour cream, spicy diced jalapenos and colby-jack cheese, topped with bacon and baked until warm and gooey. The result is the most incredible dip, reminiscent of the appetizer we all love so much!

Jalapeno Popper Dip Notes

• You can swap out the regular cream cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream and mayo for the light versions. I don’t recommend using fat-free because it will not taste right or melt properly.
• This dip can be made ahead of time and frozen. Simply allow the dish to cool completely before transferring it to a freezer safe container. It will stay fresh for up to 3 months. To thaw, transfer to the fridge the night prior to serving. Reheat and serve once thawed and ready to consume.
• This dip is a great option for get-togethers, game days or any occasion where you are required to bring a dish. It’s an easy and well-appreciated pot luck dish.
• Serve with tortilla chips, carrots sticks and celery and/or Ritz Crackers. It’s so delicious, and a hit at every party!
