A creamy, smoky, and spicy dip featuring cream cheese, jalapeños, and crispy bacon bits. Perfect for quick gatherings and crowd-pleasing occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
  • ½ cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
  • 2 medium jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely chopped
  • ½ cup (50 g) bacon bits, cooked and crumbled
  • 3 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon: Heat frying pan over medium heat. Add 6 to 8 slices of bacon and cook until crispy, about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess fat. Once cooled, crumble into small bits.
  2. Prepare the jalapeños and green onions: Finely chop 2 jalapeño peppers, removing seeds for milder heat if desired. Slice 3 green onions thinly, using both green and white parts.
  3. Mix the base: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add flavorings: Stir in chopped jalapeños, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  5. Fold in bacon and cheese: Add crumbled bacon bits and shredded cheddar cheese. Gently fold to combine.
  6. Chill and serve: Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Serve chilled or at room temperature with chips, crackers, or raw veggies.

Notes

Soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps. Use gloves when handling jalapeños to avoid irritation. Cook bacon until crispy for best texture. Chill dip for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld. Adjust thickness by adding milk or more cream cheese as needed.
