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 jalapeno 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 jalapeno poppers operate. Regardless, I love those cheesy, creamy, mildly spicy appetizers with the crispy breaded coating on the outside.

Best Jalapeno Popper Dip Recipe

This easy, delicious jalapeno popper dip recipe has all the flavor of jalapeno poppers, including that crunchy breading element in the form of buttery panko breadcrumbs sprinkled on top. Jalapeno 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 jalapenos are in this jalapeno 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 jalapenos (if you want it spicy, by all means, leave some of the seeds in!).

Any heat in the jalapeno 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 jalapenos even though some jalapeno popper dip recipes call for canned peppers. I just think fresh jalapenos have a much better flavor and I like the little bit of texture that they add.

What do you serve with Jalapeno Popper Dip?

This jalapeno 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!

How to Make Jalapeno Popper Dip with Bacon

1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream until smooth using an electric mixer. Stir in the chopped jalapenos, bacon and cheeses.
2. Transfer the dip mixture to a cast-iron skillet or baking dish and spread into an even layer.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, butter, and parmesan, then sprinkle over the dip. Bake in a 350 degree F oven until warm throughout and the breadcrumbs are toasty and golden brown on top!
