JALAPEÑO POPPER DIP RECIPE
I knew when I made this Jalapeno Popper Dip that it fit in the “Man Food” category and would definitely be husband friendly. It’s an easy, creamy jalapeno dip with just enough heat to please the hubby but mild enough to be enjoyed by myself.
I loved this dip because the heat can be controlled. Not that wives are control hungry or anything. But marriage is all about compromise, right? That’s why over the years our meat to sauce ratio has decreased and unfortunately our metabolisms as well.
You can make this Jalapeno Popper Dip with just a little heat or you can double the jalapenos for the spicy lovin’ men in your life. It’s a no fuss dip that doesn’t take you away from watching the game.
HOW TO MAKE JALAPENO POPPER DIP
First, mix all the ingredients in a large bowl. The ingredients are cream cheese, shredded cheese, diced green chiles, jalapenos, mayonnaise, and Parmesan. Spread cream cheese mixture in a baking dish.
Next, spread Panko breadcrumbs mixed with butter and Parmesan on top.
Finally, all ready to bake! Cook this jalapeno popper dip recipe until golden brown.
WHAT ARE PANKO BREADCRUMBS?
Panko breadcrumbs are a Japanese bread crumb made from white bread. They can be found by the regular breadcrumbs at the grocery store.
Panko bread crumbs and melted butter on top of the dip make for the perfect crunchy topping.
FRESH JALAPEÑOS VERSUS CANNED JALAPENOS
This recipe calls for canned jalapenos but you can use fresh if you like instead. The pros of canned jalapenos is that the heat is controlled.
Canned jalapenos aren’t too spicy. Fresh jalapenos are great too but they can be hard to determine how spicy the peppers can be because every pepper is different.
WHAT DO I SERVE JALAPENO POPPER DIP WITH?
Serve this hot dip with chips, your favorite crackers, baguette slices, celery sticks, or carrot sticks.
BACON
Traditional jalapeño poppers are wrapped in crispy bacon. If you want to add bacon to make this more of a cheesy dip, it would be great.

We just had this at a gathering and it was by far the most popular and delicious appetizer! I was sent here for the recipe. Thank you for sharing it!
Thank you!
This is the BEST. I take this dip everywhere and people seek me out to ask for the recipe. They think I’m a culinary genius! However (after basking in the adulation) I give full credit to The Girl Who Ate Evetything, and also to my former boss’s wife, who sent me here in the first place. My 11-year-old just made it with minimal assistance from me. It’s her favourite thing!
So happy to hear that! Glad you love it too!
This dip looks really good. I am thinking of making it for a work party. Could I bake it off at home, then warm it up at work in the microwave? Would this change the texture too much? Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Not at all! It would be great.
Sounds AMAZING!
It is!
i should say that this idea is wonderful..Hats off the the off….its seriously Yummmy..
Generally I do not read post on blogs, but I wish to say that this write-up very forced me to try and do it!
Your writing style has been amazed me. Thanks, very nice article.
Just so you all know this recipe doesn’t have 3 stars. It just has that rating because it hasn’t been rating yet. Don’t let it defer you from making it.
I must try the pumpkin muffins/cupcakes! They look and sound delish. My favorite pumpkin dessert is pumpkin chocolate chip cookies with buttercream frosting. TDF. I love your blog chalk full of great recipes! And props to you for running a marathon. I’ve done a few half marathons but never a full. What an accomplishment!!

Mmm those pumpkin muffins look delicious- I love the cinnamon sugar coating under the frosting 😉
