Chef's Tips

Adjust the amount of jalapeños based on your spice preference. Wear gloves when handling jalapeños to avoid burning your skin.

For a smoother dip, use a hand mixer to combine the ingredients.

This dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add a few minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.

Garnish with extra crumbled bacon and sliced jalapeños for a nicer presentation.
