The heat of jalapenos, creamy melted cheese, the smoky flavor of bacon—this dip has all the best flavors of jalapeno poppers, and no one has to light up a grill. We love this served with an assortment of dippables, from tortilla chips and crostini to pita bread and veggies. Bake in individual-sized ramekins to create single-serving snack plates.
