If you like this dip, then you’ll love our Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers, and you can’t go wrong with our Philly Cheesesteak Dip! When I was in high school I got my first “real” job as a server at a Mexican restaurant. It was a far cry from authentic Mexican, but I will say that’s where I was first introduced to jalapeño poppers, which were taken frozen from the freezer and deep-fried before serving them to guests. Which, I’m guessing, is how basically most restaurant chains that serve jalapeño poppers operate. Regardless, I love those cheesy, creamy, mildly spicy appetizers with the crispy breaded coating on the outside.
Best Jalapeño Popper Dip Recipe
This easy, delicious jalapeño popper dip recipe has all the flavor of jalapeño poppers, including that crunchy breading element in the form of buttery panko breadcrumbs sprinkled on top. Jalapeño popper dip with panko topping is a no-brainer, right? The dippable form is crazy addicting and super easy to whip up for a game day party, holiday gathering, or New Year’s Eve celebration. Even though it seems like a lot of jalapeños are in this jalapeño popper dip with bacon recipe, don’t let that scare you off. The dip is honestly hardly spicy at all, so long as you remove the seeds and stems from the jalapeños (if you want it spicy, by all means, leave some of the seeds in!). Any heat in the jalapeño itself is also way toned down thanks to the creamy cream cheese mixture that serves as the base of the dip. Which also happens to have four different kinds of cheese in it. And bacon. BECAUSE WE CAN. I use fresh jalapeños even though some jalapeño popper dip recipes call for canned peppers. I just think fresh jalapeños have a much better flavor and I like the little bit of texture that they add.
What do you serve with Jalapeño Popper Dip?
This jalapeño popper dip with bacon is fantastic served with crackers, tortilla chips, sliced crusty bread, or veggies (I especially like it with sugar snap peas). But I’m also thinking that if there are leftovers they would be delicious on top of some baked or grilled chicken. Not that I know because I haven’t had any left for that kind of experimenting yet!
