Jalapeno Popper Dip is the perfect appetizer for any occasion. Jalapenos, cream cheese, shredded cheese and mayonnaise create the perfect balance of spicy and creamy.  Crispy fried onions on top give this dip a delicious crunch.

Jalapenos are a great pepper to add to any dish to give it a little kick. I love adding jalapenos to everything from taco soup to chicken nachos.

This delicious dip is perfect for football tailgating, New Year’s Eve parties, potlucks, or backyard barbecues. It is as easy as mix, bake and serve.
