Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 5 jalapeno peppers fresh, seeded and diced with seeds and membranes removed
  • 2 green onions sliced, white and green parts
  • 2 Cloves garlic minced
  • 16 Ounces cream cheese cut into cubes
  • 1 Cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 Cup monterey jack cheese shredded
  • 1 Cup sour cream
  • 1 Cup bacon cooked and crumbled
  • ½ Teaspoon salt
  • ¼ Teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Sauté the jalapenos, white parts of the green onion and garlic cloves in a skillet for 2 to 3 minutes or until tender. Set aside.
  • Use nonstick spray to coat the inside of a 2 or 3 quart slow cooker.
  • Add the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, monterey jack cheese, sour cream, ½ cup bacon, salt, pepper, and the jalapeno mixture to 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, and serve with your favorite dippers.

Notes

A mild version: A small pinch of chili powder or a dash of hot sauce can be used in place of the jalapeños, or you can halve the jalapeño amount for a milder version.
Double up: When making this for a crowd, it's worth making extra because this dip is so good it usually disappears in about 5 minutes flat!
Make it ahead: Prepare it up to the point when it goes in the slow cooker, and then cover and chill for up to a day before cooking it.
