Ingredients
Ingredients
- 6 slices Bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 5 Jalapenos, seeded and diced
- 3/4 cup Mayonnaise
- 12 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- In the same skillet, drain most of the bacon grease, leaving about a tablespoon. Sauté the diced jalapenos over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in sautéed jalapenos and crispy bacon, then fold in shredded cheddar cheese, reserving some for topping.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top with reserved cheddar cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes until hot and bubbly.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
Notes
For a spicier dip, leave some seeds in the jalapenos. This dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before baking.
