Jalapeño Popper Dip has all the flavors of a cheesy jalapeño popper combined into one epic party dip.
5 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
5 jalapeño peppers
8 ounces softened cream cheese
3/4 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
For the panko topping
3/4 cup panko
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more if you want it even spicier)
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Take 3 of jalapeño peppers and remove seeds and cut into strips. Add to a food processor or blending device along with the sour cream and cream cheese. Blend until completely smooth then pour into a large bowl.
2. To the bowl mix in the Mozzarella, pepper jack, garlic powder, salt, and diced cooked bacon. Deseed and dice the remaining 2 peppers and stir in.
3. Pour the mixture into a baking dish, I like to use a glass pie plate or a small casserole dish.
4. Make the panko topping by melting the butter then drizzle over the panko. Stir in the garlic powder and cayenne pepper then sprinkle over the entire dip.
5. Bake for 20 minutes.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
