Ingredients

Dip
2 8 ounces packages cream cheese softened to room temperature
⅔ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 medium sized fresh jalapenos minced
3 green onions sliced divided
8 slices bacon crispy cooked and coarsely chopped divided
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Crumb Topping
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
¼ cup butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, black pepper, jalapenos, half the green onions, half the bacon, and 2 cups of cheddar cheese. Spoon the contents into a casserole dish. Top with the remaining cheese.
In a small microwaveable bowl or Pyrex measuring cup, melt the butter. Add the breadcrumbs and Parmesan Cheese. Sprinkle evenly over the dip. Top with the remaining green onions and bacon.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are lightly browned, and the edges start to bubble.

Notes

Use full-fat cream cheese, not light or low fat, as it does not melt as well.
Serve with crackers, tortilla chips, corn chips, bagel chips, celery, bell peppers, carrots, or pita chips.
You can substitute a 4-ounce can of diced jalapenos for fresh jalapenos. Just drain them well.
Try this delicious dip with other shredded cheese like Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, mozzarella, or Asadero Cheese.
For an over-the-top flavor, try using roasted jalapenos.
Always wear gloves when working with jalapenos, and avoid touching any part of your face.
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
