The first time Stacey’s family and my own got together outside of school and children’s birthdays she made the Jalapeno Poppers she shared with you all. Have you tried them yet? They are killer!
That was the night before the Super Bowl so this year for our Super Bowl week here on Real Housemoms I thought I might change it up. I took the elements of the amazing poppers and turned them into a dip. With jalapeno and bacon, how could it go wrong? This is great and so easy to throw together. If you are having people over for the big game you could mix it up the night before and then pop it in the over about 30 minutes before you want to serve it. How easy is that?
Ingredients
- 6 slices of bacon chopped to 1/2" slices
- 5 jalapeños dices
- 3/4 c mayonnaise
- 12 oz cream cheese
- 2 c cheddar cheese
Instructions
- preheat 350 degrees
- cook bacon over medium heat until crispy
- remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towel
- add diced jalapeños to the skillet with the bacon grease and cook until they are a greenish brown
- While bacon and jalapeños cook combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and 1 and 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese
- Add cooked bacon and jalapeño to the cream cheese mixture
- Add cheese mixture to an oven safe dish
- cook for 20 minutes
- add remaining 1/2 c of cheese in an even layer on top and place back into the oven for 5 minutes
- serve with your favorite chip

January 31, 2013 at 4:06 pmThat looks so good. When I was pregnant with my son, all I craved was jalapeno poppers and I had never even liked them before. 6 years later, I still love them. Mmm.

September 5, 2013 at 2:25 pmLooks delish!!! Question: do you leave the seeds in the jalapnos?
Aubrey says
September 20, 2013 at 6:02 pmThanks Cathy! I would say that the seeds are up to you and your heat tolerance.

November 9, 2013 at 4:13 pmGreat recipe. The only thing I changed (because I try to eat as healthy as possible ) is I used turkey bacon in stead of pork, and I only used half the cream cheese and used the other half as a plain greek yogurt! Great recipe though! You rock
