Letter J is for Jalapeno Popper Spread

A-Z Challenge day 10, letter J. J is for Jalapeno Popper Spread. This is a great dip to whip up on game day. It's easy and quick and goes further than Jalapeno Poppers. I prefer to slather it on slices of hot, crusty Italian bread, but you can serve it with chips if you prefer.



Ingredients:

2 (8 ounce) packs of cream cheese (I always use Philadelphia Cream Cheese in all of my recipes. I find it's flavor to be the best)
1 cup mayo
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies drained, (I also rinse and get the seeds out)
2 ounces diced jalapeno peppers (if you use canned, make sure you drain)
1 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs



Stir together cream cheese and mayo in large bowl until smooth. Stir in green chilies and jalapeno peppers. Spread mix into baking dish. Mix the Panko bread crumbs and parm cheese together and sprinkle on top of spread.  Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes or until the top of the crust is golden brown.

  1. This one is a 'gotta try it' and 'can't wait', but I better invite some people over to share, cause I already know I could eat the whole thing myself.

    1. It's so good. Especially for game days or for taking to a friend's house as a quick appetizer.

    1. Depends on the jalapenos! You don't have to make it super spicy if you don't like it. Just cut out some of the heat by removing some of the jalapenos from the recipe.
