Instructions
How To Make Crock-Pot Jalapeno Popper Dip, Step-By-Step
Preheat the crock-pot on low.
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.
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.
Add the dip mixture to the crock-pot and heat on low for two hours with the lid on. After one hour or so, 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.
Before serving this dip, garnish the top with chopped fresh green onions.
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 come along and add corn chips and a spoonful of Jalapeno Popper Dip to their plate. 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 15 to 20 minutes.
