Description

This Spicy Crockpot Jalapeno Popper Dip is a creamy, cheesy, and flavorful appetizer perfect for parties or game days. Made with rich cream cheese, full-fat sour cream, sharp cheddar, crisp bacon, and spicy diced jalapeños, slow-cooked in a crockpot for easy preparation and melty perfection.

Ingredients

Base

  • 9 oz cream cheese (preferably Philadelphia for superior melting quality)
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

Veggies and Flavorings

  • 4 jalapeños, seeded and finely diced into 1/4-inch pieces
  • Green onion, chopped (for garnish)

Cheese and Protein

  • 2.25 cups sharp cheddar cheese (preferably Tillamook Sharp)
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled into small bits

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bacon: Cook the 8 slices of bacon until crispy, either in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven. Once cooked, drain excess grease and crumble into small bits. Set aside.
  2. Prep the jalapeños: Wash and seed the jalapeños carefully, then finely dice them into 1/4-inch pieces. This ensures a mild to moderate heat level throughout the dip.
  3. Mix the base ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine all ingredients: Add the diced jalapeños, sharp cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon into the cream cheese mixture. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
  5. Cook in the crockpot: Transfer the mixture to a crockpot. Set the crockpot to low and cook for 1.5 hours (90 minutes), stirring halfway through to ensure even melting and heating.
  6. Garnish and serve: Once cooked, garnish with chopped green onions. Serve warm with crackers, tortilla chips, or sliced veggies.

Notes

  • For extra heat, leave some jalapeño seeds in or add a diced fresh jalapeño on top as a garnish.
  • If you prefer a thicker dip, reduce the sour cream slightly or let the dip cook uncovered for the last 15 minutes.
  • This dip can be kept warm on the crockpot’s warm setting for up to 2 hours after cooking.
  • Make sure to use full-fat dairy products for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • You can prepare the mixture in advance and refrigerate; then cook in the crockpot just before serving.
