Slow Cooker Jalapeño Popper Dip

You’re going to love this wonderful dip which combines spicy with creamy and savory. It’s a crock pot dip, so you simply have to add the ingredients and let the slow cooker work its magic.

Love dips? Also try this dirty martini dip, crockpot taco dip, creamy French onion bacon dip, or any of these popular party dips.

Why You’ll Love It

Easy: Crockpot dips are always great because you simply need to add the ingredients to your crockpot and let the machine work its magic. As long as you give the creamy dip with bacon a stir now and then, it’s sure to come out perfect.
Tasty: The spicy flavor of jalapenos makes a lovely contrast with the creamy ingredients like cream cheese, sour cream, and shredded cheese. And then the crumbled bacon adds a beautiful salty meatiness.
Crowd-pleasing: This dip is always popular but it’s especially good if you’re expecting a crowd and you can even double or triple the recipe if you want to. Make this and prepare a few different dippers and you can be sure everyone will rave about this easy jalapeño peppers dip.

Crockpot Jalapeno Popper Dip Ingredients

A complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

Jalapenos: I find 5 medium jalapenos work well in this jalapeno dip, but you can increase or decrease the amount as you wish.
Cheese: This dip has 2 kinds of shredded cheese as well as cream cheese. You can try different kinds of cheese if you want.
Bacon: For a meaty flavor that pairs so well with the dip. Omit it for a vegetarian version.
Green onions: Keep the white and green parts separate, as the white part goes into the dip and the green part makes a great garnish.
Garlic: You can use garlic powder if you’re out of fresh.

How to Make Jalapeno Popper Dip in a Crockpot

Cook the jalapenos: Cook the garlic, jalapenos and green onions (white part only) in a skillet for a few minutes.
Add everything to the Crockpot: Grease a slow cooker with cooking spray and add the shredded cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, salt, pepper, jalapeno mixture, and half the bacon. You will want to use a 2-3 quart Crockpot for this recipe (here).
Cook the jalapeño popper dip: Cover and cook for 2 hours on low, stirring every half hour and scraping any stuck-on bits up from the bottom of the Crockpot.
The finishing touches: Sprinkle the remaining bacon, green parts of the green onion and a little more shredded cheese (if liked) on top before serving the warm dip with fresh veggies, tortilla chips or your preferred dippers.

Substitutions and Variations

Gluten-free option: The dip is already gluten-free. Just ensure you have some gluten-free dippers so those who are gluten intolerant can enjoy.
Different cheeses: Try any other melting cheeses you enjoy.
Baked option: If you have no slow cooker, or you’re cooking something else in there, you can use the oven for this jalapeño poppers dip instead. Cook in a baking dish for about half an hour at 350°F.

Serving Suggestions

Other dips: I like to serve a trio of dips with a variety of dippers, perhaps red pepper cream cheese dip, smoked cheese dip, or any of these addictive dip recipes. A dip trio is always a huge hit whether you’re making a game day appetizer spread for a Super Bowl party or just have some friends coming over and you love dip!
Side dishes: Pair this delicious dip with seared steak nachos or mushroom focaccia.

How to Store Jalapeno Popper Dip

Store: Keep leftovers for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
Freeze: Don’t freeze this because it separates.
Reheat: A pan on the stove or the microwave will reheat the dip.
