Addicting Jalapeño Popper Dip

Crazy addicting! My jalapeño popper dip is like nothing you’ve had before. It’s loaded with pickled and fresh jalapeños but doesn’t bring a whole lot of heat, serve it with crackers or tortilla chips and watch the crowd go wild!

Ingredients

  • 1 8-ounce brick full fat cream cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup EACH: milk AND mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder divided
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • cup chopped pickled jalapeños
  • 1-2 chopped fresh jalapeños see notes
  • 1 cup EACH: shredded cheddar AND shredded mozzarella

Topping:

  • 1 cup Ritz crackers pulsed into crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons EACH: melted butter AND parmesan cheese
  • Chopped parsley for topping

Instructions

  • PREP: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375ºF. Spray an 8x8 baking dish or a 10-inch cast iron skillet with nonstick cooking spray, set aside.
  • WHIP: In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, and ranch seasoning and continue to whip until fluffy and combined, about 1 minute. Using a rubber spatula (or on the stir setting of your mixer) fold in the pickled and fresh jalapeños along with the cheddar and mozzarella. 
  • BAKE: In a small bowl, combine the cracker, parmesan, and drizzle in the melted butter to form a coarse meal. Spread the cream cheese mixture in the prepared baking dish and top with the cracker crumbs. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the dip is hot and the crackers are golden brown. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm with additional crackers.

Notes

  • Replace the fresh jalapeños with additional tamed (or mild) pickled jalapeños for a milder dip.
