Jalapeno Popper Dip

cream cheese, softened (light works great)

mayonnaise (light also works here, but DON’T use Miracle Whip!)

Parmesan cheese

garlic, pressed or finely minced

fire roasted green chilies

diced jalapeno peppers*, drained

optional: 8oz bacon, cooked and crumbled

sourdough baguettes, sliced, a bag of tortilla chips, and/or crackers

*1/2 can is mild with a little bite, a whole can is definitely on the spicy side, but if you’ve got taste buds of steel, you might prefer a 7-oz. can. 4 ounces definitely pushes the limit for my husband and I and our kids won’t touch it.
