Any time you mix savory bacon with jalapeño peppers and lots of cheese…well that’s a pure win in our book. Our bacony jalapeño popper dip has all the flavors you love in spreadable form. And it’s without the fuss of having to stuff those jalapeños and wrap them with bacon slices. Hallelujah. This will quickly become a party staple in your house.
Want to increase the heat of your jalapeño popper dip? Try dropping the green chilies for one or two diced serrano peppers. Or just use serranos instead of the jalapeños for an even bigger heat bump. Serranos are typically twice the heat (often more) than jalapeños. They have a similar bright bite, though, so they work very well with popper flavors.
