First off, make sure to enter our current GIVEAWAY if you haven't already! It's on Facebook, so click here to enter!So...I kind of had something else planned for this post. It was slightly experimental...slightly disastrous picture-wise and didn't taste as good as I remembered it. I was racking my brain for manly appetizers and was about to resign myself to bruschetta with "Who Dat?" toothpick banners (let's not mock here) when, out of the blue, I remembered this easy, spicy, cheesy, completely addictive (and banner-free) dip or spread.
You're definitely not going to be wasting your entire day in the kitchen getting this stuff ready. Probably the most time-consuming task is slicing the bread. The other thing is that it's CHEAP! You probably already have half of the stuff on hand and the rest of it is unlikely to cost you more than a couple of bucks.
Now...the ingredients might sound weird, and the mixture might not knock your socks off before you've cooked it, but once it's hot and bubbly and cheesey, I'd love to see you try and stop eating it once you've started...
Jalapeno Popper Dip
Recipe from Our Best Bites
2 8-oz. packages cream cheese (light works great)
1 c. mayonnaise (light also works here, but DON'T use Miracle Whip!)
1 c. Parmesan cheese
1 4-oz. can fire roasted green chilies
1/2-1 4-oz. can diced jalapeno peppers*, drained
1-2 sourdough baguettes, sliced, and/or crackers*1/2 can is mild with a little bite, a whole can is definitely on the spicy side, but if you've got taste buds of steel, you might prefer a 7-oz. can. 4 ounces definitely pushes the limit for my husband and I and our kids won't touch it.
Preheat oven to 350. In a medium bowl, combine the ingredients and spread into a 9" pie plate or a small baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until dip is bubbly and golden brown.

Oh my goodness. If my daughter was not sick today I would be on my way to the grocery store to pick up these ingredients. This dip looks so good and I just made bread yesterday so I will certainly be trying this this weekend. Thanks for the recipe
OMG! Your blog has made me so fat (that's who I am blaming heehee)... I LOVE poppers, can't wait to try this weekend for football!

Wow, this is the first time I have checked out your site, and I love it! Awesome ideas and great pictures! If you have time, would love it if you could check out mine. A long way from yours though... Happy Eating!!
I've totally had visions of making this very thing, but never have. It looks and sounds awesome!
Hello superbowl snack, come to momma!
What perfect timing!!!!
Kate, you are BAD. Thanks a lot!
Sounds great Kate! I will be making this to watch(more like space out sitting next to my husband)the Saints!
My mom makes a dip similar to this but with artichoke instead of jalapenos. It's totally addictive. I could eat the whole pan. We'll have to try this version next time!
Oh my... this sounds really really really yummy.
:)

This looks awesome. Definitely going to be making them next time the kids are all here.
Nice! A great dip for tailgating! Go Saints! :)
I made this yesterday and everybody loved it!!!!! yummy!!!!
I just made this for my husband, neighbor and myself and oh my is it good! I have not been let down by any of your recipes! 4 for 4 so far and looking forward to trying more! Thanks so much.
I've been making this for years. People LOVE it! Served it with lots of stuff, but Ritz Crackers are always the favorite!
Made this today for a Super Bowl party. It was delicious!!! I did add a good handful of mozzarella and some extra grated Parmesan on top.
Still, excellent recipe, and it really did taste like a jalapeno popper.
I made this dip on Saturday and it was a huge hit! We had tortilla chips with it - yum!
I made this for my (small) Superbowl party and it was a big hit. I loved it, too, for its ease and tastiness.
I used all the lite ingredients and it was perfectly creamy. I also doubled the green chilis (because I'm married to a New Mexican, and it's necessary for people from NM to consume VAST quantities of green chili) and it turned out just fine and very flavorful.
I made this yesterday for the Super Bowl and it was soooooo yummy! I seriously could have eaten the entire thing myself. Thanks for sharing!
We made this, your stuffed pizza rolls, and the terriyaki skewers yesterday. They were all a big hit!
Told my husband about this recipe and he insisted on making it yesterday for the Super Bowl. It was so good with tortilla chips that were fresh out of the frier. It made a lot but we polished it off with a few friends. This will be made for many, many get togethers in our future. Thank you!
I am sold on your blog after trying this recipe out. It was the hit of the SuperBowl Party. Thank you
