Easy Jalapeno Popper Dip

Easy Jalapeno Popper Dip in a cast iron pan

I really love Jalapeno poppers. Those spicy, cheesy, crunchy little bites of flavor are seriously yummy.

Unfortunately, they’re also a big hassle to make. You have to hollow out the peppers one by one, stuff them with cheese, then bread them and deep-fry them. And since deep-fried anything isn’t exactly health food anyway, I end up only having these as a special treat when we go out to eat.

I realized if I wanted to get that spicy-cheesy flavor in a dish I could make at home, I had to find a way to make it simpler. So I did what I always do with a recipe that’s too much work – just turn it into a dip!

My Jalapeno Popper Dip is much easier to make than frying up a bunch of whole peppers, and it’s better for you, too. Instead of stuffing the cheese filling into the jalapenos, you chop up the peppers and mix them into the cheese. Then, to get that gooey, melting texture, you bake the mixture in a casserole dish, topped with buttered bread crumbs. And to supply the crunch of that fried outer skin, you serve it up with crunchy French-bread toast, crackers, chips or veggies!

And presto…jalapeno poppers, the easy way.
