Jalapeño Popper Dip
Ingredients
- 4 medium/large jalapeños, seeds removed, chopped
- 1 ranch seasoning packet (28 grams)
- 1 cup cream cheese (250 grams), room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1⅓ canned corn (341mL), drained
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 2 cups sharp cheddar , shredded
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs, toasted
- green onions, for topping
- tortilla chips, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 °F.
- Begin by removing the seeds from the jalapeños and chop into small pieces. Set aside.
- To a large bowl, add your cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, ranch seasoning packet, and lime juice.
- Using a hand blender, begin to mix on low speed until mixed thoroughly, and a smooth texture forms. About 2 minutes.Tip: if you don't have a hand blender you can use a large mixing spoon, just make sure your cream cheese is room temperature to make it easier to mix.
- Add your chopped jalapeños, canned corn and 1 cup of cheese. (The other cup will be used to top the dip with).Mix gently until combined.
- Add to a baking dish, spread evenly and top with the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until it begins to bubble.
- While it's baking, bring a small pan to medium/high heat. Add your butter and breadcrumbs and mix constantly to lightly toast the breadcrumbs. About 3-4 minutes. Once the breadcrumbs are toasted and golden, remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the cheese/dip begin to bubble, remove it from the oven and top with your toasted breadcrumbs.
- Return back to the oven for another 5 minutes.Tip: I like to let it broil for the last 1-2 minutes to get a golden color to the top, just be sure to keep an eye on it.
- Top with green onions and serve with tortilla chips.
- Enjoy!
