Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh jalapeños (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and chopped jalapeños.
  4. Fold in the crumbled bacon.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
  6. In a separate small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the dip.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  8. Serve hot with your favorite dippers like tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • For a slower cooking method, you can adapt this recipe for a slow cooker. Combine all ingredients except the breadcrumb topping in the slow cooker and cook on low for 2-3 hours. Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs on top during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of jalapeños to control the spice level. For a milder dip, remove all seeds and membranes from the jalapeños.
  • You can substitute other cheeses like pepper jack or Colby Jack for variety.
