Ingredients

Base

  • 200 g cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Flavorings

  • 23 jalapeños, roasted and chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup cooked bacon bits
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Topping

  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
  • Fresh chives for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to prepare for baking the dip.
  2. Mix Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream, mixing thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Flavorings: Stir in the roasted and chopped jalapeños, shredded cheddar cheese, cooked bacon bits, garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything evenly to distribute the flavors.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the cheese mixture into a baking dish, smoothing the top for even cooking.
  5. Add BBQ Swirl: Spoon the BBQ sauce over the top of the mixture and use a knife or skewer to create a decorative swirl pattern through the sauce and cheese.
  6. Bake the Dip: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and slightly golden on the edges.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the dip from the oven, garnish with freshly chopped chives, and serve immediately while warm with your favorite chips, crackers, or toasted bread.

Notes

  • Roast jalapeños beforehand for a deeper smoky flavor that enhances the dip.
  • Serve this dip warm with chips, crackers, or toasted bread for the best taste and texture.
  • For less spicy version, remove seeds from jalapeños before roasting.
  • This dip can be made ahead and refrigerated; just reheat before serving.
