I am not a football fan. I suffer through sporting events like every other spouse (who does not appreciate the game) every weekend during the fall and winter months. I usually avoid this by keeping myself busy in the kitchen. I suspect you are not surprise by this.
The Super Bowl is coming soon – my husband was impressed I knew this. The Super Bowl is about the only excuse I can think of for food like this. Sooo…. maybe I was waiting for the occasion just so I could make this dip. This dip is addictive and it is as good with fresh-cut veggies as it is with chips or crispy pita chips.
JALAPENO POPPER DIP
Ingredients
- 2 blocks light cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup mayo
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 – 4 oz. can of diced green chillies
- 1/3 cup canned jalapenos, diced
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cream together cream cheese, mayo, cheddar, chillies and jalapenos. Pour into 1.6 quart, or larger casserole dish. Mix together bread crumbs, olive oil and parmesan, and spread evenly over top of cheese mixture. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Serve with pita chips, veggies or corn chips.

This does sound totally addictive! I might even sit down to watch some of the game if this was lying around. 😉

good food is just about the only reason I enter the “football” room.

I love snack food like this, especially when its a little out of the ordinary. I’m going to make this for this year’s party.
Also, is “In Fine Balance” named after the book because I LOVE that book!

Ah — of course! And nice to see someone appreciates my taste in literature. Awesome fine literature at that! 😉

So the idea is, if we eat this we will be bulked up enough to play football, right? I’m kidding…

HaHa!! That pretty much sums it up for me.

Considering all the hype, I thought for sure that the Superbowl was supposed to be yesterday. I guess it’s a good thing there’s more time though, because this dip looks like the perfect thing! Thank goodness for meltable vegan cheese- This should be a snap to convert. 🙂

You mean the superbowl wasn’t yesterday…..?
kidding 🙂
Love to know how a vegan version turns out – and exactly what products you use so let me know how it works out

Haha the only plus of the superbowl is the food that comes along with it. Love this dip!
