If you read my blog on a regular basis, you may recall me saying that I am not a big football fan, okay let me rephrase that, I am not a football fan AT ALL. On occasion, I will pretend to watch it to appease Bri, but in all honesty I really have no clue what is going on. However, I do love to cook, so this “Man Holiday” aka the Super Bowl gives me the perfect opportunity to whip up some fabulous snack food to share with my readers. I will have two posts going up today, the first is for this delicious, spicy, cheesy Jalapeno Popper Dip. It’s easy, incredibly tasty and highly addictive.
It pairs perfectly with toasted French bread, tortilla chips, crackers, raw veggies and beer! I will forewarn you, this dip definitely has a little kick, but if you like things a little more on the mild side, simply cut back on the jalapenos and chilies to suite your taste buds. I hope this recipe makes it on to your Super Bowl Spread. Have a great day and be sure to check back later for a last minute snack idea.

Jalapeno Popper Dip
Ingredients:
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained
4 ounces canned diced jalapeno peppers, drained
1/2 cup shredded Mexican style cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese1 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheeseDirections:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray an oven safe serving dish with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Using an electric mixer, blend the cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth.
3. Stir in green chilies, jalapeno peppers, and Mexican and mozzarella cheeses. Spoon this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
4. Mix together the Panko and parmesan cheese and sprinkle it over the cream cheese mixture.
5. Spray the Panko and parmesan with a quick spray of non-stick cooking spray.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the mixture is hot and the topping is lightly browned.
Notes:
- If you are in a hurry, skip the Panko/Parmesan topping and simply microwave the cream cheese mixture until hot and bubbly.
- Serve this dip with French bread, fresh vegetables, tortilla chips, crackers…pretty much anything that pairs well with cheese!

What a great variation on the classic jalapeno poppers! This looks so addictive.
i actually just drooled all over the key board.
Where did you find the pretty yellow & white plate/bowls?
Nikki-
They are from Anthropologie.
I stumbled across this dip recipe the other day and wanted to make it, good to know you love it (I saw your tweets!) and it’s guy approved too
@caffeinated_mom
Holy wow!!! This sounds INCREDIBLE. I have never seen a dip like this!
I came across this recipe a couple of days ago and whipped up a batch in preparation for Sunday. And being the caring cook I am, I felt obligated to heat up a small amount and taste test it. Holy Crap! It is amazing, and INCREDIBLY addictive. I’ve got it sitting in the fridge and it’s all I can think about.
This looks perfect – I was wanting a new jalapeno-y type recipe for Super Bowl. Thanks!
OMG that is such an awesome idea! I am totally making this when my jalapeno’s come in… assuming they do… and if they don’t well I’ll have to buy some and make this to console myself
Just bought the ingredients to make this for our spread today! Cant wait! Looks so yummy!!!
Hi Jamie,
This sounds delicious, but even better are your photos-beautiful. How did you get the lighting like that? Is it natural (like outside) or do you do that somehow? Thanks & Please Advise!
Stella- These photos were taken using natural light around noon. They were taken inside at my kitchen table in front of the patio door. Thanks for stopping by!
Ooohhh yeah, gotta tell my b/f about this one! He’ll go nuts!
Just curious – what size pan did you bake this in? Thanks!
Dave- I use small crock style baking dishes, but a simple pie plate will do. Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you back!
I made this dip for superbowl and it was a huge HIT! Thanks!
This dip looks AMAZING! I can’t wait to try this recipe out. I just stumbled upon your blog today, and I will definitely be checking back for new recipes.
I should of made this dish for the super bowl. All of my guys ate Doritos!
So… I made the dip this past weekend. My guests raved over it! However, I would have liked it with a little more heat. I never liked to mess around with a recipe until I’ve made it first… I think next time I will throw in a fresh chopped jalapeño, but that’s probably because I’m from Texas.
This was soooo good! Everyone loved it. I will be making this one for most every event we have now. It was that good!
I made this to take to a dinner party last night (reduced the mayo to 1/2 cup and used light cream cheese), and it was a big hit. Especially spread on the homemade crab rangoon (an odd but yummy combo). Maybe next time I’ll add some fresh Alaskan king crab to the dip!
I’m so excited I found your site! You have amazing recipes with such a large assortments of things. I’m always searching for a great blog to follow! This dip in particular looks delicious for a Superbowl Party… suddenly my mind is switching to fall mode!
have you made this ahead and frozen it before?
Thoughts on that?
cca-
Thanks for stopping by MBA! Never froze this, but I have a feeling that it may not work out that well…
-Jamie
I made this dish for Thanksgiving (the quickie microwave version) and everyone loved it! They asked for it again for Christmas, so I’m working on another batch today
this is the most amazing dip i have ever had..i LOVE it! ive been making this for every party i attend for the past couple of months! THANK YOU!!
This sounds wonderful! I just discovered your blog but I’m bookmarking it for future reading.
Just made this tonight for my son’s birthday party…it was a huge hit! I am going to have to make it again for the Superbowl and I might try putting some bacon bits on top…
ah-may-zing!! this sounds RIGHT up my alley!!! the hubs won’t touch it but that won’t be a problem… ore for me!!
Sounds amazing! We will definitely be trying this recipe soon!
Jalapeno poppers are my favorite. Can’t wait to make this. Yum!
Super Bowl Sunday is definitely a “Man Holiday” like you said, I guess we have Valentine’s Day so it’s only fair!
Last week I made this dip for our round robin and followed it precisely. The dip was delicious and a crowd pleaser! Thank you!
This looks amazing! Love poppers, have always wanted to try this dip. YUM
You had me at jalapeno. I can’t wait to try this!
Can you make this without the mayo? (Not a big fan of the mayo but everything else looks delicious!)
Kimiko-
I have never tried it without the mayo, but honestly, it doesn’t have an overly mayo-y flavor. Sorry I am not more of a help on this one.
-Jamie
Excellent dip – made tonight for our Super Bowl party. Easy and tasted very good.
This dip is amazingly good and addictive! Thank you for a recipe I could impress my superbowl guests with.
I love stuffed jalapeno poppers but the ones i love have a crab/cheese stuffing so could I use a little crab meat in this dip?
Hi Jamie,
I just stumbled across your website from pinterest.com. This recipe looks delicious! I just got a inordinate amount of jalapenos in my CSA produce basket this week, so I was wondering if I could sub raw for canned jalapenos. Do you think that they would be spicier?
Yvonne-
I think you could use them. I definitely think they would be hotter, so I would de-seed them pretty well. I would also probably saute them in a little olive to soften them up. Enjoy!
-Jamie
Perfect as written. Made once with sour cream for mayo haters and it turned out great! Used fresh diced jalepenos cleaned real well. 8 for the recipe. Not hot just flavorful. Thanks!!!
I love this recipe! It is something different. I substituted greek yogurt for the mayo to make it a little healthier. Turned out good!
I was looking for this answer. Thanks! I don’t care for mayo either. I was wondering if the greek yogurt would hold the same or similar consistancy.
By far the best site I have “stumbled upon” since joining!!
Thanks so much for visiting, Katrina!
Thank you for this recipe ^.^
Just made if for a Thanksgiving potluck and it was a hit!!
I’ve made this recipe twice, and both times it was a BIG hit!!! I’ve even got requests for the recipe too. People tend to graze around this dip with handfuls of chips waiting to dip in! Thanks again for sharing this ‘must keep’ recipe!!!
Hi, can’t wait to try this for the Super Bowl — wondering one thing – what “mexican style” cheese did you use? I’m thinking this could mean two things — the “mexican blends” in the shredded section, or real mexican cheese in the specialty section.
I make this with sour cream instead of mayonnaise.
This dip looks amazing! What kind of Mexican style cheese did you use? Thanks!
Mary-
I just used a Mexican Cheese Blend from Kraft. Hope this helps.
-Jamie
Hi Jamie, I was wondering what can I substitute the mexican cheese with since the supermarkets where I live don’t sell stuff like that..
Thanks!
Dee-
You can just use regular cheddar or a combination of cheeses. I used Kraft Shredded Mexican Blend. Thanks for stopping by.
-Jamie
I made this amazing dip this weekend when we had friends over. This dip was SO easy and SO delicious! My friend even asked for the recipe.
Doreen-
This is one of my absolute favorites! So glad to hear you enjoyed it!
-Jamie
Jamie, I made this dip for poker night with the guys…it was gone in less than 30 minutes. Normally during Poker games, we need to go on beer runs…they actually on an ingredient run instead. If this dip can please 5 card playing, beer drinking Arizona men…you know it’s good.
Matt-
I am thrilled to hear that you and your poker buddies enjoyed this dip! An ingredient run, huh? Now, that’s what I’m talking about! Thanks so much for taking the time to come back and comment! Have a great day.
-Jamie
I hate football too, and like you, really only get excited for the superbowl because of the food. This dip looks so awesome and easy! I can’t wait to make it.
Have you ever tried making it with something other than mayonnaise? I ask because my body rejects something in mayo – I don’t know what it is, but every time I eat a recipe with mayonnaise in it I get pretty spectacularly sick. Any recommendations on what I could substitute?
I was thinking sour cream most likely?
I tried the condensed cheddar cheese soup mix instead of mayo and it turned out great!
Lauren-
I have not made this without the mayonnaise – sorry I am not more of a help regarding a substitution.
-Jamie
hi lauren,
i was just reading through all of the comments, because i want to make this and make it a bit lighter.
i saw where one person used greek yogurt and another used sour cream. both said they turned out great! i’m going to make this, this weekend and use greek yogurt.
i’ll try to get back and post how it turned out
emily
This dip looks and sounds amazing! I was just wondering if it would still turn out okay if I prepared it the night before? Also how does it taste if reheated? Do you reheat it in the microwave or back in the oven?
Hi!
I haven’t tried making this dip in advance, so I can’t comment on the taste or texture. I hope you love it as much as we do!
-Jamie
Hello, just wanted to say i made this dip over the weekend, it was a big hit. One thing i did not like was there was grease just sitting there… was told it was from the cheese cooking. did anyone else have that problem?
thank you!
Colleen-
I am so happy to hear you enjoyed the recipe – thanks for stopping by and leaving your feedback. I have never had an issue with grease pooling – sorry I can’t help with that issue a bit more. Have a great day.
-Jamie
How much people does this serve?
Yes, i’d like to know how many it serves as well as, what kind of mexican cheese you used? I’m thinking the store bought Kraft, mexican cheese blend? Thanks!
Pardis-
You are correct, it was a shredded Mexican blend made by Kraft.
-Jamie
Sooo it says 1 (4 ounce) of green chilis and 4 ounces japs…is this 4 ounce of japs as in 1 4 ounce can or 4 cans of japs?
Kelly-
The recipe calls for 1 (4 ounce) can of jalapenos – I apologize for any confusion. Good luck and have a great day!
-Jamie
Made this for New Years & it was awesome. I will be making this many times it the future, especially when company is around.
