Cheesy, creamy, and spicy, this Crock-Pot Jalapeno Popper Dip won’t last long with a crowd, and it’s so simple to make!
This post is all about how to make Crock-Pot Jalapeno Popper Dip.
This Jalapeno Popper Dip warmed in a crock-pot is one of the BEST dip appetizers you will ever taste! This recipe calls for fresh corn, jalapenos, sharp cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and some crispy bacon.
Heat this popper dip in a crock-pot or slow cooker for two hours and garnish the top with chopped green onion. FYI, this dip tastes perfect alone but even better with warm corn chips. This recipe size serves 10 to 12 people, and don’t be surprised if it’s consumed fast! Yes, it’s that delicious.
If you have leftover dip, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and then reheat it in the oven in a baking pan or a skillet over the stove. I believe this recipe is the BEST because of the fresh corn, which adds excellent contrast to the rich cheeses. Also, do not underestimate the sharp flavor the chopped green onions add on top!

What Is Jalapeno Dip Made Of?
This recipe calls for fresh corn, cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, jalapenos, and chopped green onions for garnish. You’ll also need to add sour cream and a bit of mayonnaise to ensure the dip is creamy. If you want to eliminate the mayonnaise component, you can substitute it with more sour cream.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Cream Cheese (full-fat), 8-ounce block, room temperature.
- Bacon, 1 cup chopped, approximately 8 strips of cooked, crispy bacon.
- Jalapenos, 2-3 finely chopped, deseeded, or leave a few seeds in for more spice. I used three jalapenos in my dip (seeds removed), and the dip tasted perfect.
- Corn, 4 cups, room temperature. I bought a bag of frozen corn kernels from the grocery store.
- Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded, 16 ounces.
- Sour Cream (full-fat), 1/2 cup.
- Mayonnaise (full-fat), 1/4 cup.
- Salt and Pepper to taste.
- Fresh Green Onion, 1/4 cup, chopped. Garnish the top with green onion when you’re ready to serve.
Equipment Needed:
- Sharp Knife for chopping.
Can You Reheat Jalapeno Popper Dip?
Yes! You can reheat it in the oven at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes. Be sure to cover the baking pan with foil. Or add the leftover dip to a skillet and warm it on low-medium heat over the stove until it’s hot and bubbly. If you’re heating a small amount, you could put it in the microwave for 30-second increments until the dip is heated.
How To Make Crock-Pot Jalapeno Popper Dip, Step-By-Step
Step 1: Preheat the crock-pot on low.
Step 2: Add the unfrozen corn, shredded cheese, bacon bits, and chopped jalapenos to a bowl and mix. I find that it’s easier to add the ingredients to a mixing bowl first and then transfer it to the warm crock-pot.
Step 3: Add the sour cream and mayonnaise to the bowl and mix. Cut the room-temperature cream cheese into cubes and add it to the bowl, mixing until combined.
Step 4: Add the dip mixture to the crock-pot and heat on low for two hours with the lid on. After one hour, stir the dip and add salt and pepper to taste. If the cheese is not thoroughly melted after two hours, adjust the crock-pot to the high setting until the cheese is melted.
Step 5: Garnish the top with chopped fresh green onions before serving.
Serving Tip: Once the dip is ready to serve, keep the crock-pot on low, or if there’s a setting called “keep warm,” adjust it to that. Guests can add corn chips and a spoonful of Jalapeno Popper Dip to their plates. FYI, this dip appetizer tastes BEST warm.
Optional Oven Instructions: If you don’t have time for the crock-pot, add the dip to a 9 x 9 baking pan and bake it in the oven at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes.
