Notes
One serving is about ⅓ cup of dip and do not include chips or crackers for dipping.
This dip is naturally gluten free.
This dip is keto and low carb. To make it even lower carb, you can omit the sour cream and use all mayo.
Pat or wipe the grease off of your cooked bacon before you crumble it to keep the dip from getting too greasy.
To make your dip extra hot, add more jalapenos and leave some of the seeds in.
To keep your dip mild, diligently remove all of the seeds before chopping your jalapenos.
Handle fresh jalapenos carefully, preferably with disposable gloves and washing your hands when done. The oils from hot peppers can get into your skin and burn. (It's painful! I found out the hard way!)
Can you used jarred jalapenos? Yes, although it may have a more mild pepper flavor. Start with about ⅓ cup chopped and add more to taste.
Make Ahead Instructions: To make the day before, prepare dip according to directions without baking. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use. Then uncover and bake, adding an extra 5 minutes to cook time to account for the cold dish.
Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave.
Freezer Directions: Prepare dip according to instructions then cover and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before baking.
