Jalapeno Popper Dip With Bacon
My jalapeno popper dip is creamy, spicy and topped with plenty of crunchy bacon. It is way easier to make than individual poppers and is always a hit for game day.
I love turning foods we love into dips. I've previously shared Pizza Dip, Reuben Dip, and even Crab Rangoon Dip. If you make one thing for game day this make sure its my Jalapeno popper dip! It goes great with chips crackers, or veggies. Our favorites are Ritz crackers and Fritos Scoops. Love jalapenos? Try my Armadillo eggs next.
Ingredient Notes & Krystle's Tips
- Cream cheese: Use full fat block style cream cheese. Avoid the ones that come in the tubs. Also, be sure to soften it for a lump free dip. Around an hour on the counter top is what I do. Short on time? Place the foil wrapped package in a bowl of warm not hot water.
- Cheese: I used cheddar and mozzarella but anything you enjoy should work fine. Shred your own if you can, it will melt more smoothly.
- Sour cream: Use full fat for the best results. Greek yogurt can work in a pinch.
- Jalapeños: Look for peppers that are have a light green shiny skin. Avoid peppers with white lines and remove the seeds and ribs for a milder dip. You could even use pickled jalapenos which are milder and tangier.
- Bacon: I like using thick cut bacon as it has a meaty texture that doesn't get lost and crisps up well.
- Hot Tip: I like to bake mine in two smaller dishes. Then I can put one out at the start of the party, and have one hot and ready if it runs out!
Yes! Combine all ingredients including the cooked bacon on low for 1.5-2 hours.

Great idea Lisa!
This looks fantastic! Thanks for linking up with What's Cookin' Wednesday!
This has started a craving, I'm in trouble. Thanks for sharing. Hello from Freedom Fridays!
Hehe give in Melissa! 🙂
Has anyone tried to keep this warm in a crockpot set on low? I' thinking bake it up, transfer to crockpot, sprinkle bacon on top to pretty it up a bit. Any thoughts from someone who has made this dip?
Hi Joy,
I don't think that would be a problem. Since all the ingredient are cooked through it wouldn't even be a problem to bake it from start to finish in the crockpot.
After the cheese melts I'd put it on Keep warm to avoid burning around the edges! 🙂
Totally making me drool!!! Pinned and shared on FB!!
Hugs from Freedom Fridays!!
Seriously, this is making my mouth water! I want to make this so badly.
Thank you Jessa!
Oh my gosh!!! This might be the most amazing thing I've seen all day! I love jalapeno's and this sounds so good. I'm not exactly sure when I'll have the occasion to make it since I'm usually alone in my love for spicy foods but I absolutely will find some way to sneak it in to something. Great share!
Thanks so much Ashley! Hope you find an excuse to make it soon! 😉
