This Jalapeno Popper Dip is a quick and easy appetizer that tastes like you worked your tail off! The jalapeno adds a bit of kick and it really does taste like you are eating jalapeno poppers on a chip. Definitely a crowd pleaser for your next get together. Great for tailgating!
Ingredients
2 packages of Cream Cheese, softened (I soften the cream cheese in the microwave in the bowl I’m going to use to make the dip… why dirty another dish?)
Mayonnaise – 1 cup
Diced Green Chilies, 1 4 oz. can – drained
Diced Jalapenos, 1 4oz. can – drained. If the jalapenos are too hot, double up on the Diced Green Chilies for a “cooler” experience
Grated Parmesan Cheese 1 cup
Directions for Jalapeno Popper Dip
You won’t believe how easy this is…
Stir together all of the ingredients except the Parmesan cheese in a microwave safe bowl. Sprinkle the cheese over the top. Microwave on high until hot, about 3 minutes.
Serve with tortilla chips or with bread chunks. It’s like having a jalapeno popper on a chip. All of the flavors are in every bite!
We like to take this to parties when we’re asked to bring an appetizer. Because it uses the microwave instead of stovetop or oven, it’s an easy reheat when we arrive! It actually does reheat pretty well, so you can melt everything before you go and just warm it up. Otherwise, it works great to stir everything together and take the Parmesan cheese on the side and do the initial cooking while you’re there.
With the cheese content, it actually holds heat for quite a while as well. We have made this just as we’re ready to walk out the door for tailgating or picnics. As long as it’s not too cold outside, you don’t even have to worry about keeping it warm!
Enjoy!
