It’s almost that time…
Kickoffs, punt returns, interferences, whistle blows, touchdowns…

This dip is a must for your NFL Sundays.
Jalapeño Popper Dip
I spied this recently and knew it was the perfect thing to bring to summer family game night down the street last night. I almost halved the recipe because a pound of cream cheese seemed like a lot, but I’m glad I went ahead and made a full batch. This is one of those appetizers where everyone parks themselves in front of and can’t leave. We even learned that it is delicious slathered on top of a burger!
All the tastes of jalapeño poppers, but in dip form. There are several variations out there, but I chose to follow this one.
I cut the mayo to 1/2 cup and cheddar cheese to 1 cup, used 2 fresh jalapeños and 1/2 cup chopped jarred jalapeños, doubled the fresh garlic and used 1/2 cup regular bread crumbs and 1/2 cup panko {only because I wanted to use up the last of my regular bread crumbs}. I’m certain you could use reduced fat cream cheese and turkey bacon to be a little on the healthier side and not notice a difference….I used center cut bacon since it’s a little leaner. Next time, for added kick and heat, I may substitute pepper jack for the cheddar.
Will most def add this to the {crowd pleaser} recipes.
The perfect dip to kick off football season with!
