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. In fact, one of my closest friends Isabel, is absolutely obsessed. I have to tell you, sometimes talking to Isabel is infectious when she is talking about her boys and football or super bowl and football. She gets so excited and animated. It only made sense that it was one of our themes for Sunday Supper.
When I found out that our #SundaySupper 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.

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!!!
Nicole Cook
Thanks Liz, it really is one of those fabulous dips that’s good for just about anything.
Renee
If this disappears at a party it’s not me. I swear.
(Can be found in the corner munching away on this awesome dip)
Nicole Cook
haha love it. Thanks Renee! 🙂
Shannon @VillageGirlBlog
I love Poppers! This dip looks amazing. I must have on a party table. Thanks for sharing!
Nicole Cook
Thank you so much shannon! So good! 🙂
Jen @JuanitasCocina
Soooo…I can eat the whole thing by myself. Just thought I’d let you know.
Nicole Cook
Nope. You have to share. We can draw a line down the middle. I get half, you get the other half. :p <3
Susan 30A EATS
I love popper dip! Yum! Can’t wait till the party!
Nicole Cook
Susan, it’s so good! Thanks!
Katie
Oh my goodness, this dip looks incredible! I would be alllll over it at a Superbowl party!
Megan - I Run For Wine
I love the idea of taking jalapeno poppers and turning into a dip. So much easier and cheesier!
Nicole Cook
They really are much easier and SO good – dip anything in there and it’s wonderful! 🙂
Bea
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 🙂
Nicole Cook
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!
Stacy
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. 🙂
Nicole Cook
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!
Family Foodie
Oh yum! Looking forward to trying this dip!
Nicole Cook
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!
Amanda @ Marocmama
Jalapeno poppers have always intimidated me but this sounds like the delicious taste without it being too hot!
Nicole Cook
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.
Anne @ Webicurean
Love love love poppers …. and all I know is I definitely need to make this for my next party!
Nicole Cook
Enjoy it if you make it Anne, it’s ridiculously addicting!
Tara
My hubby would love this one, I have got to give it a try, Happy #SundaySupper!!!
Sarah Reid, RHNC (@jo_jo_ba)
This would be so fantastic on a bagel 🙂
Alaiyo Kiasi
I would omit the bacon, but I think it would still be quite flavorful. This looks fantastic!
Nicole Cook
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!
Kim Bee
I’m with you, football shmootball. Just give me the food. Love this dip. Jalapenos rule.
Hezzi-D
This is one of my favorite dips of all time! Creamy, spicy, delicious!
kathia
That looks so delicious, can you send some for me please?
Susan
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!
Family Foodie
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.
Soni
These sound prefect for superbowl!I love the bacon and jalapeños with the cheese!Always a winner 🙂
Sarah | Curious Cuisiniere
I love jalapeno poppers! This looks like a fantastic dip!
Bree {Skinny Mommy}
I bet this was a huge hit. YUM!
Wendy Wofford-Garcia
Love this spin on poppers…it’s so much easier to make (no stuffing) AND eat! Looks gooey and delish!!!
Cindys Recipes and Writings
I don’t eat spicy foods, but my daughter would love this!
Laura | Small Wallet, Big Appetite
I love this because while I love jalapeno poppers I don’t like the work. So this is the best of both worlds
bev
Someone made this for our easter lunch ….its delicious
