This Spicy Jalapeño Popper Dip is the perfect appetizer for game day. Easy to make and will serve many guests. If they can handle the heat!
What better for Game Day than a Spicy Jalapeño Popper Dip? Served with your favorite buttery crackers, chips or even a baguette, it doesn't get much better than that.
I will warn you now that this dip is hot. And I mean hot. As usual, you can control the heat but removing some of the jalapeño seeds but I like my Jalapeño Dip full throttle. Make sure you adjust the heat accordingly for you and your guests.
Personally I like to use my Ninja (food processor) to combine the cheese mixture but you can use your electric hand mixer or even mix by hand. When I am making a bunch of different recipes at once I try to make it as easy as possible.
I really like how Panko crisps up during the baking process but you can also substitute for breadcrumbs if you have some on hand and don't feel like making a trip to the local grocery store. Experiment and make this your own!
🌶 How to Handle Hot Peppers
The capsaicin in hot peppers is what makes peppers hot. If you handle hot peppers gloveless, it’s a guarantee that you’re in for a nasty case of chili burn, both on your fingers and anywhere you rub. Like your face. Ouch!
Even if you wear disposable gloves, be careful about what you touch. The gloves are going to protect your fingers, but touching any part of your body with the gloves after you’ve handled hot peppers can lead to severe chili burn. Resist the temptation to rub your eyes. Wait until you’ve removed your gloves and washed your hands thoroughly with soap.
