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 cheese
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Method
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.
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

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!
