Its the perfect dip to make during the winter months because its a warm and creamy dip. Every time I make this dip, I always come home with an empty dish. It is that good!There are several variations of this recipe online but this is the BEST! Weve made it soooo any times and I have been asked for this recipe pretty much every time I make it. Thank you! LisaTIPS FOR MAKING JALAPEOPOPPER DIP:Dont worry, this dip is not blazing hot. It just has a slight kick. If you want it hotter, you could certainly add in more jalapeos or some cayenne pepper or use pepper jack cheese.Whenever a recipe calls for softened cream cheese, I leave it out on my counter overnight to make the next day. Or if Ive forgotten to leave it out, I cut up the unwrapped cream cheese into small cubes, place on a plate, and leave it out on the counter for about 10 minutes until softened or use the softening option on your microwave oven.Cooked, chopped bacon can be added for even more flavor. I would use about 1/2-1 cup of cooked bacon. If using store-bought bacon pieces, I would only use about 1/2 cup of those. If you dont have Panko bread crumbs, just used crushed Ritz crackers.INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)cream cheese see my post on How to Soften Cream Cheese Quicklymayonnaise this might sound strange but it really helps with creaminess and overall scoop ability so dont skip it, you dont taste it as a separate ingredient.Mexican cheese blend feel free to adjust the cheese to your liking. If you prefer more spice, try using a pepper jack cheese.parmesan cheese I used shredded but if all you have is grated (like the stuff in the green bottle), you can used that instead.diced green chiles I am very sensitive to spice and this (to me) is not spicy at all in this dip. It adds a very small little kick but nothing I would call hot.pickled jalapeos they make tamed jalapeos now if you are worried this will be too spicy. It gives you all the flavor of pickled jalapeos without the spice.panko bread crumbs you can use regular breadcrumbs but we like the crunchiness of the panko..salted butterHOW TO MAKEJALAPEOPOPPER DIP:Preheat oven to 375F degrees.Spray a 2-quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.Using an electric mixer (or a food processor), mix together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Mexican blend cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, green chiles andjalapeos. I also throw in a pinch of salt and pepper too. You do not need to drain either can of peppers.Mix until smooth and totally combined.Spread the dip filling into your casserole dish.In a bowl, mix together Panko bread crumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and melted butter.I added just a bit of dried parsley into the mix to add some color.

Topping should be golden brown and the dip should be gently bubbling around the edges.Serve with your favorite buttery crackers!CRAVING MORE RECIPES?Crock Pot Jalapeno Popper Corn DipJalapeno Popper Egg RollsWarm Bacon Cheddar DipPoolside DipJalapeo Popper BitesJalapeno Popper Chicken SaladJalapeno Popper WontonsBaked Jalapeo Popper PinwheelsThe Best Shrimp DipPepper Jelly Cream CheeseMillion Dollar DipJalapeo Popper PinwheelsJalapeno Popper Butter Swim BiscuitsJalapeo Popper Chicken CasseroleCrock Pot Smoked Queso DipCreamy Taco DipMississippi Sin DipHot French Onion DipOriginally published: December 2013Updated photos & republished: December 2025 PrintJalapeo Popper DipThisJalapeo Popper Dip appetizer is a warm, creamy recipe with a crunchy topping that will be the surprise hit at any party or gathering.Course AppetizerCuisine AmericanPrep Time 10 minutes minutesCook Time 20 minutes minutesTotal Time 30 minutes minutesServings 8Calories 576kcalAuthor Brandie SkibinskiIngredients2 (8 ounce) blocks cream cheese, softened to room temperature1 cup mayonnaise1 cup shredded Mexican Cheese Blend1 cup shredded Parmesan Cheese (divided use, can use grated cheese)4 ounce can chopped green chiles (undrained)4 ounce can chopped pickled jalapeos1 cup Panko bread crumbs cup salted butter (1/2 stick), meltedsalt, pepper, dried parsley (to taste)InstructionsPreheat oven to 375F degrees.
