Equipment
- 2-3 quart slow cooker
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 5 medium jalapeno’s seeded, ribs removed and diced
- 2 green onions sliced, white and green parts divided
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 16 ounces cream cheese diced
- 1 cup Mild Cheddar Cheese shredded
- 1 cup Monterey Jack Cheese shredded
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup bacon crumbles
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the jalapenos, white parts of the green onion and garlic cloves for 2-3 minutes or until tender and fragrant. Set aside.
- Use non-stick spray to coat the inside of a 2-3 quart slow cooker.
- Place the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, monterey Jack Cheese, sour cream, ½ cup bacon, salt, pepper and the jalapeno mixture in the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the slow cooker as you stir. After 2 hours, everything should be melted, smooth and ready to serve.
- Top with the green parts of the green onions, remaining bacon crumble and extra shredded cheese if desired then serve with your favorite dippers.
Notes
- Stirring the Dip. It's important to stir as the dip is heating to avoid it burning on the bottom. Be sure when stirring that you also scrape the bottom of the crockpot.
- Cooking the Jalapenos. This dip is often made with raw jalapenos but I find giving the jalapenos, onion, and garlic a quick saute gives the dip a more slow-cooked flavor.
- Adjusting the Flavor. Don't forget you get to control the spice level! For a less spicy dip, you can reduce the number of jalapenos you use.
