Title: Baked Jalapeno Bacon Dip
Post by: Hub on November 15, 2014, 08:49:57 AM
 (Edited December 6, 2014) I posted a basic recipe for this a few weeks ago, but yesterday I actually "fixed" it -- meaning I both made it and repaired some flaws in the original to improve results.  The recipe author is Tanya Thompson, a food blogger.

Jalapeno Popper and Bacon Dip

Ingredients
•2  8 oz cream cheese
•2  cups cheddar cheese shredded
•2  cups mozzarella cheese shredded
•1 package Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix (1 oz. size)
•6 jalapeno peppers, seeded, de-veined and diced
3  2.8 oz. packages Hormel large size bacon bits
 •4  cups sour cream
•4 tbsp chopped onions
•2 tbsp parsley


Instructions
 1.In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together, until well blended.  (leave the cream cheese out to soften for several hours or you'll need a commercial mixer to do this job)
 2.Spread on the bottom of a 13×9 baking dish
 3.Bake in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
4.  Allow to cool slightly before serving with crackers or tortilla chips

If you want to cook up and crumble your own smoky bacon, that will add extra zing.  Also, there's no pepper heat in this so if you want more, either don't de-vein the jalapenos or consider a hot sauce addition after the cook (so as not to make it too thin or runny).

... and, I'd eat all of it and get fat again...

Well, since I'm fat already and not likely to get thin anytime soon, I guess I'll bite the bullet and try it out (if I can use our Serranos instead of jalapenos).

I just made a major edit to this recipe, so if you've bookmarked it or tried it and found it lacking, check it out again.  Good reviews from several people at a party last night.  My wife even liked it  ::)

That party would be mine.  Mr. and Mrs Hub, and Mr. and Mrs. Tee were in attendance, along with 60 or so neighbors.  Our annual Christmas party that my wife and I have been hosting for over 40 years.  Without a doubt, Hub's Baked Jalapeño Bacon Dip was a hit.  I was so busy that I didn't get to taste it until real late.  But when I did, I was bowled over with the great flavor.  Other than a straight dip for a party, I have another use in mind.  It will be my filling for an omelet this morning.  That just moved up my list of appetizers to the top!  Thanks for bringing the Baked Jalapeño Bacon Dip, Gordon.

HAH!  Great minds think along the same lines.  I sandbagged several scoops of my "test batch" for just that very purpose this morning  ;D

I have had most of today to think of some more uses for the is fantastic food...

1. Filling for enchiladas...especially if you add some chicken.

2 As a filling for ABT's/ stuffed Jalapeños

3. A topping for salmon that you are going to smoke or grill

4. A layer on top of chicken or turkey panini

5. A topping for a tortilla - or potato soup

6. A layer - or - topping in a casserole

7. Filling in a Southwestern crepe'

8. a better filling for a chicken cordon bleu

In any case - this will become a staple around here.

Why not! I think this stuff might be the most promising and universal dip/sauce ingredient I have ever tasted. It really was that good.

After reading about africanmeat's low carb pizza, I'm thinking that this spread on top the pizza with shredded beef, pork, or chicken would make a very delicious pizza.
