Ingredients

• 6 slices bacon
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 0.5 cups sour cream
• 0.25 cups mayonnaise
• 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 2 medium fresh jalapenos, finely diced
• 1 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
• 1 package tortilla chips or crackers (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, diced jalapenos, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 5

Add half of the crumbled bacon to the mixture and stir to incorporate. Reserve the other half for topping later.

Step 6

Transfer the dip mixture to a 9-inch baking dish or an oven-safe skillet. Spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the top of the dip with the remaining crumbled bacon and chopped green onions.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges.

Step 9

Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly. If desired, garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh pop of flavor.

Step 10

Serve the Spicy Jalapeno Bacon Cheese Dip warm with tortilla chips or crackers for dipping.
