Creamy, Spicy Cheesy Jalapeno Popper Dip is one of our favorite things to serve on gameday. But with something this delicious, it shouldn’t be saved, it should be made and celebrated anytime you want it!
It’s Super Bowl time! I wish I could get more excited about it, but I can’t.
I just really can’t. I’m really just not a sports girl. In fact, we’re really not much of a sports family.
And to shock you even further, I can honestly tell you that I have no idea who is playing football today. As in .. which teams. I know, I know *gasp*
But it’s just not my thing.
What is my thing though, is the wonderful, scrumptious foods that are served at any good football or tailgating party. That’s my favorite part, so I’m usually in the kitchen cooking all day and my teens come in and help me while hubby enjoys the game.
That’s how we spend our day during football season, but more importantly the Super Bowl because even when my husband’s team isn’t playing, he’s still watching and routing for someone. I have to keep him fed and happy and this dip is just the answer.
Not to mention that I am not sure I have a single friend (okay so I have a few… special shout out to Jen, in particular) that doesn’t just love football. It really only makes sense, since gameday foods are some of our favorites.
When I found out that this weeks theme was actually going to be Super Bowl Snacks, I was all over it. I told you, I love the food aspect. I knew what I wanted to make from the get go.
This Jalapeno Popper Dip gets rave reviews each time I make it and it’s one of those dips we enjoy having just because. My teenagers devour it quickly and I will tell you, they were trying to stick their fingers in it while we were photographing it. They aren’t heathens, they just really like it.
You will too.
I see variations of this all over the Internet all the time – they all look fantatic. This is the way we make it and I got this out of one of those little spiral bound local cookbooks when I was just a little older than my teens now.

Recipe for Cheesy Jalapeno Popper Dip
Cheesy Jalapeno Popper Dip
Ingredients
For the Jalapeno Popper Dip
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 6 slices bacon cooked and chopped
- 5 jalapeno’s chopped and de-seeded.
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- ¼ cup green onion diced
For the Topping
- 1 cup crushed crackers Tollhouse, Ritz, etc.
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- In a big bowl, mix the cream cheese and the mayonnaise together well.
- Add the bacon, jalapenos, green onions and cheese. Mix together well.
- Using a spatula, transfer the cream cheese mixture into an oven safe dish. I usually use a 9″ pie plate with about a 1″ lip.
- In another bowl, mix together the ingredients for the topping and spread across the top of the cheese mixture.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes.
- Serve with crackers, veggies or bread. Enjoy!
I’ve always wanted to make jalapeno poppers, but your dip sounds just as wonderful….and a heck of a lot easier! A winner, Nicole…thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks Liz, it really is one of those fabulous dips that’s good for just about anything.
If this disappears at a party it’s not me. I swear.
(Can be found in the corner munching away on this awesome dip)
haha love it. Thanks Renee! 🙂
I love Poppers! This dip looks amazing. I must have on a party table. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much shannon! So good! 🙂
Soooo…I can eat the whole thing by myself. Just thought I’d let you know.
Nope. You have to share. We can draw a line down the middle. I get half, you get the other half. :p <3
I love popper dip! Yum! Can’t wait till the party!
Susan, it’s so good! Thanks!
Oh my goodness, this dip looks incredible! I would be alllll over it at a Superbowl party!
I love the idea of taking jalapeno poppers and turning into a dip. So much easier and cheesier!
They really are much easier and SO good – dip anything in there and it’s wonderful! 🙂
I love jalapeno poppers and your dip looks amazing! Reading your post, I had to chuckle…I also do not know who plays {I know, I know} and we are not a sports watching family either 🙂
Is it bad I’d never even heard of one of the teams playing yesterday. My husband had to explain and I was confused about “nicknames” everyone was using. I finally looked at him and went, you know what? I think I’m just going back in the kitchen. And that’s what I did. LOL Thanks Bea!
Anything with jalapeño popper in the title and I am IN! This looks divine! I like to watch the game but mostly for the fun commercials. 🙂
I love jalapeño’s so much! I could put them in almost anything (except baked goods) and be pretty happy.
I love the commercials, but I watch them the next day on YouTube. Guess what I’m doing today? hahah! Thanks Stacy!
Oh yum! Looking forward to trying this dip!
So good! Even if you don’t like spicy (ahem… weirdo LOL) you can control that with how many jalapeño’s you use. 🙂
All I have to say, is that I think I need to make t hat Onion Cheddar Cheese Ciabatta you made and dip it into my popper dip – that sounds… well – amazing!
Jalapeno poppers have always intimidated me but this sounds like the delicious taste without it being too hot!
You can control how much spice you get from the jalapeño’s by using less, so if you were ever afraid – this is the way to go.
It’s so cheesy and wonderful, you cannot stop eating it.
Love love love poppers …. and all I know is I definitely need to make this for my next party!
Enjoy it if you make it Anne, it’s ridiculously addicting!
My hubby would love this one, I have got to give it a try, Happy #SundaySupper!!!
This would be so fantastic on a bagel 🙂
I would omit the bacon, but I think it would still be quite flavorful. This looks fantastic!
It probably would be quite flavorful without the bacon, but *gasp* I can’t do it without it. LOL
It would still be awesome, I’m sure w/out it though Alaiyo. 🙂 Thanks!
I’m with you, football shmootball. Just give me the food. Love this dip. Jalapenos rule.
This is one of my favorite dips of all time! Creamy, spicy, delicious!
That looks so delicious, can you send some for me please?
Would it be wrong if I just ate the topping and left the rest for everyone else who loves jalapenos?? I’m dying over how crispy it looks!
So I have to tell you, now that I actually had some time to read your post… I was just like you until I married my football crazy husband… honestly, until I met him, I am not sure I ever even watched a Super Bowl Game….
Yes, Ron has turned our family into true football fanatics! He coaches, boys play it, my daughter cheered… and I am the fan in the stands!
We must have a football party together one day! It will be so fun.
These sound prefect for superbowl!I love the bacon and jalapeños with the cheese!Always a winner 🙂
I love jalapeno poppers! This looks like a fantastic dip!
I bet this was a huge hit. YUM!
Love this spin on poppers…it’s so much easier to make (no stuffing) AND eat! Looks gooey and delish!!!
I don’t eat spicy foods, but my daughter would love this!
I love this because while I love jalapeno poppers I don’t like the work. So this is the best of both worlds
Someone made this for our easter lunch ….its delicious
