This jalapeƱo popper dip is creamy and delicious. This is the perfect quick appetizer for Game Day or any fun get together. Serve this my melty Baked Brie with Figs, some Bacon Western Cheeseburgers for the best appetizer spread.

Recipe Tip

Use panko bread crumbs. If you don’t want to use crispy onions and crispy jalapeƱos, use bread crumbs! I like to toss 1 cup of bread crumbs with a teaspoon or two of melted butter. Add it to the top of the dip and transfer to the oven to bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use crushed up Ritz crackers for the topping?

Yes, feel free to swap out the crispy onions and crispy jalapeƱos for crushed up Ritz crackers or bread crumbs. Yum.

Is this appetizer spicy?

I would say it’s average spicy. If you’re adverse to spice, you can swap in diced green chiles. They’re not spicy just flavorful.
