Even people who make their own jalapeno popper dip ask for the recipe for this dip. I show them the recipe which reads like everyone elses. I actually use authentic Mexican cheeses but the recipe states cheddar, mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

How to Make Bacon Jalapeno Popper Dip

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 350.
Combine all of the ingredients into a medium bowl. Stir well. Transfer to an oven proof dish. The size of the dish depends on how thick the dip is. A 12 inch dish will make your dip about an inch thick.
Combine the topping ingredients and sprinkle all over the top of the dip.
Bake the dip for 20-30 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown on top.
Notes: If you like cilantro you can add a little bit of fresh chopped into dip. You can also add just a touch of cumin into the melted butter before stirring into the topping. Serve with chips, tortillas, pitas, or crackers.
