Hot Jalapeno Bacon Spinach Dip is such a creamy, spicy, and cheesy dip. Serve with toasted baguette or pita chips for an incredible appetizer.
This dip is such an awesome combination of flavors. There’s spinach, jalapenos, diced green chilies, and bacon all in a super creamy cream cheese base. Mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese add lots of cheese flavor. This dip is perfect for gameday or any type of party.
It can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until you are ready to bake it.
How To Make Hot Jalapeno Bacon Spinach Dip
To make this dip, you’ll start by frying some bacon. Then you’ll use a little of the bacon grease to cook some onion and diced jalapeno until soft.
Next it’s just a matter of mixing all the ingredients together and transferring them to a baking dish. Pop it in a 350 degree oven for about 22 minutes and it will be wonderfully bubbly and golden around the edges.
Tips For Making Hot Jalapeno Spinach Dip
- If you are on a low carb diet, serve this dip with endive leaves, cucumber rounds, or celery sticks.
- The heat in this dip comes from the jalapenos and diced green chilies. If you want a little extra heat, add 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
- Be sure to squeeze as much water out of the spinach as possible or your dip will be watery.
