A quick and easy low-carb jalapeño popper dip combining creamy cheese, spicy jalapeños, smoky bacon, and crispy pork rinds for a flavorful, crowd-pleasing snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (100 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2–3 medium jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional but recommended)
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • About 4 cups (100 g) crispy pork rinds for dipping

Instructions

  1. Wearing gloves, remove seeds and membranes from 2-3 jalapeños and finely chop them (about 5 minutes).
  2. Cook 4 slices of bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp (about 8 minutes), then drain on paper towels and crumble once cooled.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine 8 oz softened cream cheese and 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Mix with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in chopped jalapeños, crumbled bacon, sliced green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt to taste. Mix until evenly distributed.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning or jalapeños for desired heat.
  6. Optional: Transfer mixture to an 8×8 inch oven-safe dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until bubbly and slightly golden on top.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly (5 minutes). Serve with about 4 cups crispy pork rinds for dipping.

Notes

Wear gloves when handling jalapeños to avoid skin irritation. Start with fewer jalapeños and add more to adjust heat. Baking is optional but adds a warm, bubbly texture. Store pork rinds separately to keep them crispy. Can be made dairy-free by substituting cream cheese with vegan alternatives and ensuring pork rinds are gluten-free.
