Who all loves jalapeno poppers? *raises hand emphatically* One thing I don’t like though, is all the time it takes to make them. It’s a lot of work, and I’d much rather be able to spend that time with my family!
MY LATEST RECIPESThis cheesy jalapeno popper dip has an added element that makes it extra special… bacon! Everything is better with bacon right? And not just any bacon… NatureRaised Farms Hickory Bacon. It’s my new favorite! Thick, butcher’s cut bacon, with no added hormones. Basically, it’s the bacon you NEED to try.
You can find NatureRaised Farms® Bacon in the refrigerated section of Sams Club. To see if they have it at YOUR Sams Club, check HERE!
While this cheesy bacon jalapeno popper dip is probably thought of traditionally as an appetizer, we like to have an appetizers dinner… especially around the holidays. It’s a great way to test out new recipes before debuting them, and it’s just incredibly fun to eat all your favorite foods in one meal!
So what will you do with all your extra time you’ve saved by not having to fuss with individual jalapeno poppers?
Here’s a Few Fun Suggestions:
- Pop in a fun holiday movie and join your family for a snuggle session
- Head outside for some playing in the leaves or snow (depending on the weather)
- Bust out your favorite board game, gather the family around and play
Making this jalapeno popper dip is really simple… just beat the mayo and cream cheese together, then stir in the rest of the ingredients. Bake the dip then dig in! Easy as pie!
I like to serve this dip with some corn chips, toasted baguette slices, or even slather it on a big juicy burger like this one!

This warm, spicy, cheesy jalapeno popper dip is loaded with all the familiar flavors from your favorite appetizer, in an easy to make dip form!
- 16 oz cream cheese softened

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside. I use my quiche pan, but any shallow baking dish will work.

Add softened cream cheese and mayo to a mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer until smooth and combined. Add 1/2 the bacon, jalapenos, green chiles, cumin, and cheeses.
-
Transfer to prepared dish, smooth out with a rubber spatula.
-
Combine melted butter, panko, and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle over the top of the dip. Sprinkle remaining bacon pieces over the top.
-
Bake for 25 minutes, until panko is lightly golden brown and dip is bubbling.
-
If desired, top cooked dip with slices of fresh jalapeno. Serve hot.

You had me at bacon and then again at jalapeno. This looks and sounds divine!
Thanks Michelle!
This dip looks INCREDIBLE! Definitely need to make it for our next game day!
Any occasion!
I’d serve it for New Year’s.
Yuuuummmm!!! This looks incredible. Extra jalapeños, please!! 🙂
I am a huge college football fan! GO DUCKS! The civil war game is next week and this would be a great dip to serve! Thanks!
This is the perfect game day dip!
When wouldn’t I serve this dip?? Game day, the holidays, just because I love bacon, cheese, & jalapenos, lol. 😉
For a Packer game!
I think I’m going to make this dip for Thanksgiving this year. I’m in charge of snacks and this looks amazing.
Sounds like an amazing idea Rachel! 🙂 Hope you all love it!
This would be great for a game day snack to eat during the game or as an appetizer for Thanksgiving while we all await dinner.
I love serving dips at game days.
This looks amazing! I love all things cheese and this makes me hungry just looking at it. I love the crunchy topping too. Can’t wait for an excuse to make this. Yum! 🙂
During the holidays!
This would be great at our New Year’s party!
at a holiday party
This dip is totally screaming my name! Cannot wait to try this!
I’d take this to our friends’ Christmas party.
The day after Christmas we have all kinds of hot and cold snacks and desserts and I’ll definitely be serving this delicious dip.
Oh my! 🙂 A bacon dip? It can’t get any better than this! I am in! 🙂
This dip looks fabulous. Also, want to check out that bacon.
There’s no way I could be beside this dip at a party because I wouldn’t be able to stop eating it. Seriously, yum!
Any event that gives me an excuse to make this!!
I planned to serve this dish during the super bowl…YUMMY!
I would serve this dip during an NFL game.
This looks amazing! I’ll have to make this when we put up our Christmas tree!
This looks like heaven! You had me at bacon! I’m going to serve this as an appetizer for Thanksgiving!
YUMMM! This looks so delicious…perfect for holidays or game days!
Very nice! Pinning this one to make the next time we have people over to watch football. Have a great Thanksgiving!
This dip is divine! I added an extra 4 oz can of jalapeños because I love that flavor. Also used all 6 pieces of bacon in the dip and then made some extra to garnish because…well…is more bacon ever a bad idea? Love this recipe!!
Hi Amanda 🙂 I’m so glad you love the dip!! Oh yeah, extra bacon is NEVER a problem 😉
The recipe calls for “Mexican Cheese.” This is extremely vague. There are only about 14 types of “Mexican Cheese.” Can you be more specific?
It’s literally a bag of shredded cheese that says “Mexican blend”. I use Sargento brand. Feel free to swap it out for any cheeses you’d prefer more.
LOL. Oh…that Mexican Cheese.
Can one make this in a crock pot?
Hi Julie 🙂 I’ve never tried it, but if you do, I’d love to hear how it went!
I’m making it a head of time for a Christmas party tomorrow. I have it made and an baking tomorrow, just wondering if I can put the topping on too or if I have to wait?
Thanks
Hi Janine 🙂 I’ve never made it ahead for a party, but I think for the best results, I’d add the topping before baking, not overnight.
I have made this dip 2 days ahead. I leave off the topping. The day of the gathering, I bring it to room temperature add topping then bake. Make the topping ahead too and just store in a separate container – one less thing you have to worry about on the party day!

I have made this dip several times and it is a huge hit. No changes except sometimes I add the bacon and sometimes I don’t – it’s a huge hit either way. I think it’s better with the bacon……of course it is right? 🙂

I’m pretty sure I’ve made this recipe 50 times already in the past year. Just made tonight. Make sure you buy PANKO breadcrumbs and real mayo. It is what makes the dip! So delicious!!
