Jalapeño Bacon Cheese Dip

A few times a week, I like to relax and unwind at the end of the day with a cocktail 🍹 and some finger food… something to munch on while I start dinner. Besides having crudités in the refrigerator to snack on, I like to make quick, easy and tasty dips to accompany them or dips that can be enjoyed with tortilla chips and crackers.
 
There’s also another great aspect to making dips. They are always welcome whenever you have guests over. To me, dips and appetizers are very social. It helps break the ice 🥶 among your guests and helps keep them satisfied until dinner is ready.
 
As some of you already know, I love spicy, bold and flavorful character in my food so here’s my Jalapeño Bacon Cheese Dip! Last time I made it, I served it during the Super Bowl party 🏈 and it was a “touch down”! It disappeared fast because it’s ridiculously good! I mean just think about it; the smoky flavor from the bacon combined with cheese plus the spiciness from the jalapeño pepper, makes this dip a winner!
 
In this Jalapeño Bacon Cheese Dip recipe, I use my Pickled Jalapeño so if you enjoy canning then you definitely have to try this recipe 😉. It’s easy and pretty straight forward plus you can enjoy them at a lower cost than from the supermarket. I also use my Homemade Mayonnaise in this dip… yum!
 
I’m convinced you’ll enjoy this bold, spicy and yummy recipe! It’s quick to make 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 and it can be served for any occasion with the crackers or chips of your choice. Next time you’re not too sure about what to prepare for your guests or family, give this great Jalapeño Bacon Cheese Dip a try…
Bon Appétit! 🍽
UPDATE:. As I mention often, the majority of recipes can be altered and this one is not exeption. One night, I didn’t feel to have anything spicy so what I did was I added more bacon 🥓 (2 extra slices) and omitted the jalapeño pepper. I also went half mayo and half Miracle Whip. It turned out to be very delicious😋!
