Jalapeno Popper Spread

I took this to a football party & it was DEVOURED! i did what others suggested: used 6 fresh jalapenos, used 1/2 C mayo & 1/2 C sour cream, omitted the chiles, added 1/2 C shredded cheddar, & finished it off with italian bread crumbs & a sprinkle of cheddar. I served it with sliced baguette. next time I make it, I'm going to try adding some pepperjack cheese. It could have been a bit spicier for me.

W-O-W! This is SO yummy. I took the advice of others and used more diced jalapenos - - I drained a 7.75 oz. can and used that. The dip had heat, but no one said it was too hot for their taste buds. I also used shredded Cheddar cheese (1/2 in the cream cheese mixture and 1/2 sprinkled on top.) because that is more an ingredient in poppers than Parmesan. And because others suggested it, I also sprinkled lightly with bread crumbs for that "fried" popper taste. Baked at 400 degrees for 20 minutes and served it with Tostito Scoops. This "dip" tasted exactly like jalapeno poppers. Try this, you will not be disappointed.

Just Awesome! Would give it 10 stars if I could. Used a fresh parmesan/reggiano mix and I would DEFINITELY recommend topping with bread crumbs, because even though this is the tastiest dip around, it does not look very appealing. I would also bake it in the oven (350 for 20-30 minutes). Served with toasted baguette slices...perfect!!

I used the baked variation. I used fresh parmesan and accidentally used the whole can of jalapenos, but it was really good. I served it as an appetizer. Everyone loved it and wanted the recipe! I will be making this again soon.

This does taste like poppers. I used about 6 fresh chopped jalapeno's and baked it for about 20 min @ 300.

WOW! This was fantastic. I halved the recipe and used equal parts green chilis and jalaps. I did not use parm, because that didn't seem very "poppery" to me. Instead, I mixed in some odds and ends of 2% shredded cheeses I had: sharp cheddar, co-jack, and a mexican mix. I also used 1/2 C light mayo and 1/2 C sour cream because I prefer sour cream to mayo (and per earlier suggestions). I baked in the oven and served w/fresh french bread. I covered the top w/bread crumbs (and sprayed w/PAM to "crisp") prior to baking. Yum, yum!

WoW, I read all the reviews and thought it can't be that good. It is!! Thanks, it was a major hit at our 4th of July celebration. I took the hints and doubled the jalapenos and added the bread crumbs. While it was in the microwave I turned on the broiler and popped it in for just a minute to crisp up the top. I was asked for the recipe over and over again.

This is absolutely delicious! It was a huge hit at the 4th of July BBQ party at our neighbors. It went pretty fast with everyone going back for 2nds. I did use a full 4 oz. can of diced Jalapeño peppers and a mix of Parmesan & Romano Cheeses, baked in 325 degree oven for about 25 minutes and topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese for better presentation. A keeper for sure! Thank you Denise!

I made this for a party and no one really cared for it. Most of it didn't get eaten. The mayonnaise was overpowering for us. I decided to try again with some modifications. I used fresh jalapeno's. I added some cumin to the cream cheese. I used sour cream and no mayo, mixed in some cheddar cheese, and thinking of some poppers a local restaurant, I added a small can of crab meat, and added breadcrumbs to the top. I served it again to our friends and with the modifications it was a huge hit.

I used 4oz Chilies, and 4 oz. Jalapeno warmed in microwave to soft stage. Then I spread the mixture on Tortilla wraps and rolled, place them in the freezer until firm and sliced. Awesome - easy appetizer!

This recipe ROCKS!!! I baked it in the oven following the directions to the "T". Took it out of the oven and placed in a crock pot to maintain the gooey warmness and it worked like a charm! I cannot tell you how many raves reviews this recipe gets...It is unbelievable!! Crock pot is a must to keep it warm and gooey! Tortilla Chips are a must! ****Additional note. If you double this recipe I had to cut the mayo down to 1.5 cups to capture the same flavor as the original single recipe.

What a hit!! I decided to add 1/2 cup of Panko bread crumbs with 1 cup of Parmesan cheese to the top of the mixture before baking. This recipe turned out absolutely delicious and was gone before I knew it. I served the dip with French bread slices and pretzels. I am looking forward to making this recipe again real soon.

I've already made this 3 times in the last few weeks - everyone loves it! I topped it with Panko bread crumbs and parmesan before baking, which does give it a nice crunchy crust. The amount of jalapeno called for is perfect; both heat and non-heat lovers equally enjoy this wonderful dip!

This stuff is great! It really does taste just like a jalepeno popper! I even used reduced fat cream cheese and reduced fat mayo and it was delicious. Next time I might use 2 oz. of jalepeno vs. 4 oz. I used the whole can and now I can see why the recipe uses half. Definitely use shredded parmesan cheese. I baked mine at 375 for 35 minutes and it went great with both triscuits and tortilla chips.

I have tried MANY different jalapeno popper and jalapeno-popper-esque recipes...none of them impressed me and all of them took SO MUCH WORK. This recipe is completely the opposite!! HOLY COW is it amazing! The past reviewers and recipe submitter are absolutely correct - it DOES taste exactly like a popper and it is SOOOO easy to make! Every single person who tried this at our 4th of July BBQ fell in love with it - they just couldn't stay away! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for this recipe!! I will definitely bring this to many future gatherings! I topped with Panko bread crumbs (sprayed with cooking spray) and baked for 30 minutes at 375 degrees. UPDATE: I've been using two cans of green chilies and a full can of jalapenos. Sounds like a lot, but it's perfect in my opinion! It's dangerously addicting though. My boyfriend's brother likes to make tortilla pinwheels with the mixture - it's pretty tasty this way, but I prefer Ritz crackers.

I made this to take to work, and used small containers for easier travel. The recipe made several 2 cup containers....A BIG HIT for my teenagers at home, and my coworkers at work.

Edit 12/06/2010 If I reviewed this every time I made it there'd be 30 pages of just my reviews. However, this time deserves special mention. I snuck out of the party early and took my bowl of this dip with me, so I actually had leftovers this time. I added a glob of dip to my eggs the next morning and they were BEYOND GOOD. Best scrambled eggs in the UNIVERSE.

Forget the chopped green chiles and canned jalapenos. I omitted those, and ran about 8 fresh jalapenos through a blender and added that instead. A much fresher flavor, and the dairy mutes the hotness of the fresh peppers quite a bit.

Very good! I made this for a pool party last night, and everyone loved it. Even the picky kids liked it! I couldn't find fresh jalapenos, so I used "tame" jalapenos from a jar. Because the jarred jalapenos had less heat, I used double the amount. It had just enough kick without being too spicy for the pickiest guests. I followed another reviewer's suggestion and added 1/2 cup of panko bread crumbs to the parmesan topping. It turned out great! I highly recommend serving this with toasted baguette slices. I sliced the baguette about 1/4 inch thick and placed the slices on a cookie sheet. I popped them in a 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes. Like other reviewers, I recommend baking this in a pie dish. I plan to make it again with fresh jalapenos for a little more heat!

Made the baked version over the holidays - added a nice layer of breadcrumbs to the top, "drizzled" it with some red pepper jelly; served with Frito Scoops... a hit and gone in no time!

I made this and loved it! (Added the bread crumbs, doubled the jalapenos and baked it) My friend made a similar recipe but served it with CUCUMBERS as a dipper and I couldn't believe how much I prefered that over sliced baguettes or crackers. Try it!

The reviews do not lie! This is great and an easy time saving recipe. I made it FINALLY for the first time this past weekend and spent quite a bit of time telling folks its name and ingredients. They were like a football team in a huddle over it! Thank you thank you thank you.

YUMMY! 1st item that was gone at the party and I had serveral requests for the recipe. Thanks for sharing

This was really wonderful. I made is as written, but accidentally added half of the Parmesan to the dip. The other half went on top with about 1/3 cup Panko bread crumbs. I baked it at 400 deg. for 20 minutes and it was beautifully browned and hot. I served it with toasted baguette rounds. I think I will add more jalapeno next time, as their flavor was very mild. Good, don't get me wrong, and we don't love very spicy food, but more jalapeno would make this pop!

This will be a somewhat "unhelpful" critique:) AMAZING, had to do NOTHING differently, everyone loved it! I had people over to "taste test" new recipes for an upcoming party I was going to have...this was one of the clear cut winners. Of course I served it at the party as well as a couple more times since. Definitely a good party dip!

This dip is amazing!!!! I took it to a Ohio State football party and it's a request from my friends for every party ever since! I recommend using 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup mayo. The sour cream makes it special. I also use the whole can of jalapenos (drain about 70% of the juice out first, or leave the juice if you want it extra spicy!) I recommend also mixing in about 1/2 cup bread crumbs then sprinkling bread crumbs on top along with grated parmesean. Bake in the oven then serve on toasted french bread slices! Mmmm...

This is an amazing appetizer! I baked it and added the whole 4 oz of jalapenos as well, yum. I had a bit left over and added it to our scrambled eggs the next morning...WOW!

A pretty good dip for a crowd! I took previous reviewers' advice and opted for safe (mild) by using fresh serano peppers (4) and jalapeno peppers (3), membranes and seeds removed. Added some salt as well because the canned stuff contains salt. Pretty much everyone liked the dip even though it was barely spicey. The topping mixture of 1/2 cup Panko and 1 cup grated parmesan gave it a pleasing crunch texture which people liked. Next time I'll try leaving the pepper membranes intact to see how hot it gets.

I tried this because my family LOVES stuffed jalapenos. I wanted something that was easier but real close to those. This one is the next best thing. It will go into my keep file. I read the reviews and also used panko on the top. I also used freshly grated parmesan, and I baked it instead of using the micro. I also doubled the diced jalapenos as my guys really like the hot stuff. I can't eat it when I make it this hot, but when I use the orginal recipe, it's just right for me. I made this for our camping trip over Thanksgiving, and among the 10 other appetizers put out, this is the one that went first, and was gone in less than 10 minutes. I'm making this for a New Year's Eve party, and will make both kinds. I'm also going to try adding some bacon bits (real ones) and I think that will only add to how great this is. I'll update later and let you know how it went over. I highly recommend this recipe. You can't go wrong with it. Thanks Denise :)

Excellent!!! Here's the changes I made: -2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened -1 cup Hellman’s mayonnaise -2 – 4 ounces canned diced jalapeno peppers, drained really well -3/4 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese -1 cup grated Parmesan cheese -1 cup Panko bread crumbs 1. Stir together cream cheese and mayonnaise in a large bowl until smooth, stir in jalapeno peppers and Monterey jack cheese. Pour mixture into an oven safe serving dish. Bake about 20 -30mins. at 375 degrees. Combine Parmesan cheese with Panko bread crumbs and sprinkle on top of spread. Bake again until the topping is browned and dip is bubbling hot. Best served with lightly toasted French bread slices. The amount of jalapenos you use depends on your taste. I used 4 oz. of hot peppers. and it wasn’t too hot. It also depends on if the peppers you use are mild, medium or hot.

This IS a GREAT dip. My daughter and I serve it a lot and people always love it. And it's so easy. I agree with other viewers, just use the whole can. I will try the idea of poppping it under the broiler after the microwave next time or the oven, but it is good as is from the microwave. Thanks for this yummy, easy recipe!

I've made this recipe twice this holiday season. The only thing I add is 1 cup Panko bread crumbs to the top right before baking. This dip does not last long. Yuuummy !

AMAZING!!! I made this for my family thanksgiving potluck and it was GONE within half an hour. everyone asked me either to make it for them or the recipe it was a hit. i did change the recipe up a little and i also thought it was great. i used 3 packages of cream cheese, one package of sour cream. i roasted 8 jalapenos, removed the skin. deseeded 4 and blended it up. i creamed together the cream cheese and sour cream, added blended jalapenos and 8oz of pepper jack cheese (def do this) and topped it off ith bread crumbs and parmesan for 20 mins at 375. Definitely will be my staple go-to item for future potlucks and get togethers.

The biggest food hit at my party! I did double the jalapenos and although people commented that it was spicey, they also couldn't stop eating it. I would definitely recommend baking it (I did..can't imagine microwaving it)...and I served mine with toasted french bread slices. i had 1 1/2 loaves of the long skinny french bread and ran out of bread..people were still putting it on whatever they could find (tortilla chips..or a SPOON) but next time I will make sure i have enough bread, cause that was definitely better. Everyone wanted the recipe, one lady literally CORNERED ME for the recipe...can't wait to make again! Only thing i'll do different next time is mix half the cheese into the spread...although it was delicious, it did create a crust that was a little too thick and i noticed people were digging under the crust for the good stuff.

We all LOVED this!! I followed the recipe exactly, except for sprinkling a bit more Parmesean cheese on top and baking it for 15 minutes as mentioned in the footnote. I think 2 oz of diced Jalapenos (2 tbs) is the right amount of heat for a crowd since not all will like it hot. My husband, who does not like hot foods, loved this as well as my brother who loves hot and spicy foods. It met all taste preferences. I did put the jalapenos and chilies in a food chopper for a few seconds so no one would bite into a jalapeno unexpectedly. I served this with Keebler Club Snack Sticks, Original flavor (like Club crackers). Perfect! I'm sure it would be great with toasted French baguettes too. The only thing I may do differently next time is to heat the dip in the microwave as indicated and/or in a small Crock Pot to keep it warm. When baked in the oven, the cheese on top made a slight crust that I found annoying when trying to dip through it once it started to cool. I think this is best served warm. Thanks for such a great recipe, Denise!! Can't wait to make this again . . . and again. UPDATE: Just made this again but this time just put all the ingreditents in a small crockpot and heated on low. The flavor is exactly the same and the crowd loved it! Definitely a keeper!

I made this to take to a shower. I made according to recipe directions except I used 4 ounces of Jalapeno's and 1 1/2 cups of REAL shredded parmesan cheese, added 1 cup cheese to spread and mixed it in and sprinkled the rest on top. I did not use any bread crumbs. I made it in a small crock pot and kept it warm. It was AWESOME !!! Everybody loved it and wanted the recipe. It was completely gone - the dish was empty.I served it with tostitos scoops. So Easy and Sooo yummy !!! Very addicting, now I am making it again this weekend just for us to snack on. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

Tried this recipe and loved it!! Made 1 little change, I added some corn. After having tried some Jalapeno Smoked Corn many years ago, I have always remembered what a great combination Jalapenos and Corn is. The corn adds a sweetness in each bite that really compliments the jalapeno and cream cheese. Try it...you won't regret it!!

This was a hit!! I toasted some breadcrumbs to put on top to give more of the jalapeno popper taste and there was none left at the end of the night.

AWESOME - Def bake instead of micro wave. And add in the parm cheese to the mixture instead of on top! I also threw in a handful or two of extra fresh chopped Jalapeno's!

I was really looking forward to having this recipe for New Year's Eve since poppers are one of our favorite appetizers when we eat out. Other than using cheddar cheese, which we like in poppers, instead of parmesan cheese, I followed this recipe exactly. Unfortunately, I was rather disappointed with it. To me it was actually kind of bland and the taste of the mayonnaise was very evident. It would require a lot of tweeking for me to make it again. It makes a lot, so I have a lot left over. Hopefully, it won't to go to waste.

This is so delicious! I have made it for several gatherings and it is ALWAYS a hit, even with children!!! Thank you for this wonderful recipe!!

This was fantastic! I followed other recommendations and made the following changes: used the whole 4oz. Can of jalapeños, used light cream cheese & light mayo, added about 1/2 cup cheddar cheese to cream cheese mixture, topped with fresh shaved parm & panko bread crumbs and baked in the oven for 30 minutes. Served this with toasted bread rounds! The whole house loved it.

Huge hit at all the parties! Love this dip with Fritos

Amazing!!!!

Great recipe. Not a huge mayo fan so I used 1/2 mayo and 1/2 sour cream. Best when sprinkled with extra Parmesan cheese and baked at 350 for 30 min. This was a hit both times I made it.

Served this Friday night to friends - we all enjoyed it. I didn't have jalapenos on hand, so I used a boat load of green chilies. The only other change was adding 8 dashes of Cholula sauce. Will make this again and again.

I am loving this dip!! My kids will especially love it when I make it for them soon! On a different note: I have this same little bowl as in the recipe photo! My mother originally had 6 of them years ago, and I have the only one left! It is Fire King ware, and I love it!! Wish I could find more!

My men LOVE this! Surprisingly for me, I followed the recipe without any "tweaks." On the day after (if there is any left) my men use it as a spread on sandwiches. Says it gives them a real kick!

I have made this several times (over 20) and it has been a hit every time. I have also made extra and put it in a small container, pressed plastic wrap on top of the dip and put it in the freezer. It works great for drop in company.

EXCELLENT! I made this recipe for an office pot luck and it was gone in an hour! I took the suggestion of another viewer and baked mine at 350 for 20 minutes. I also whipped everything up the night before and put it into the frig overnight and baked it in the morning.

I made this dip for an easter appetizer and I couldn't keep the chips coming fast enough. I added the entire 4oz jar of jalapeno instead of just 2oz. Everyone loved it!!!! Thanks, I am already sending out the recipe to guests.

I took this to a party and it was devoured in a matter of minutes so I am giving it a 5 star rating. I never even got to taste it!

This is just the best spread EVER!! As others said, totally addicting flavor. Made it for my son's Super Bowl party, and everyone raved about it!! In order to control the heat, I used 3 fresh jalapenos, seeds and membrane removed - placed the halves in boiling water for only a couple of minutes, just to soften a bit, then cut into small dice. I also mixed 1/2 cup Kikkoman panko crumbs with 1 cup of shredded parmesan (the kind in the small plastic tubs) and sprinkled over the top, then baked at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. This is fantastic hot, but any leftovers (good luck on that!) is great cold with crackers or baguette slices, or anything else you may have on hand! (NOTE: preparing the jalapenos as above resulted in NO HEAT - ONLY FLAVOR - great for those of us who cannot tolerate spicy foods!)

i've made this with and without the green chilies and it was good both ways. ive also make it with canned jalapeno and fresh, both good.

How can something this easy be this good? I served this for our sons birthday party - one of many appetizers. The little bit that was left was even better the next day. I, too, added sliced jalopenas on top. This will definitely be a regular for us!

Voted THE BEST at our Christmas party!!!! Made exactly as recipe states except baked instead of microwaved. Thank you Denise!!!!!

I'm not much of a jalapeno fan, but this dip is AMAZING! i took crescent rolls and put a spoon of the dip in the middle then wrapped the crescent around it and baked.... it was extra yummy

This was the hit of the party. Only use freshly grated parmesan - this will alter the taste if you don't. When I used the Kraft stuff this dip was good...but not like a jalepno popper. More like a parmesean cream cheese dip. Changes: whole can of jalapenos and 3 fresh chili peppers (this was a spicy dip). Sprinkled a little bit of bread crumbs on top w/ the parm. TASTED JUST LIKE A JALAPENO POPPER!! Served with bite-sized Tostitos.

This dish improves with age. So next time, I will combine all the ingredients a couple of days in advance. It also can use a bit more jalapenos without becoming too hot or spicy. I served it with Fritos and Tostitos Baked Chips.

This is wonderful!!! Instead of serving it as a dip, I cut a loaf of french bread longways and toasted it in the oven (350 degrees, just for a few minutes). Once it was a little bit browned (not so much that the bread was hard, but just enough so the spread wouldn't make the bread soggy), I spread this along the length of both sides. I put it back in the oven to warm up for about 10 minutes and pulled out again to cool to room temperature. When it was cool enough that the topping wasn't too gooey, I sliced the loaf into slices and served. Everyone raved and many asked for the recipe! I will make this again very soon! Thanks for sharing! :)

Wonderful. I heated the dip in a small crockpot and I did add more jalapeno peppers as suggested. Will make this recipe again!!

I made this for a surprise birthday party and it was a huge hit. I used fresh Parmesan and the panko breadcrumbs on top like other users suggested but otherwise didn't change anything. I've made this a few more times without the chilies or without the breadcrumbs and it was still delicious.

Just one more 5 star review to add. I made this when friends came over and it was a huge hit. Really easy to make. I just loved it. Thanks for the recipe

This recipe is AMAZING! I was looking for a crowd pleasing recipe for my end of the school year department party, and this was a huge hit!!! I did make a few changes to the recipe though. I doubled the jalapenos to 4oz and added about 2/3 cup parmesan cheese into the mixture. Then on top I covered with a combination of 3/4 cup panko and 1 cup parmesan cheese. Bake uncovered at 375 for 15 min, then broil just until browned and beautiful. I served with homemade crustinis (just bake the bread slices brushed with melted mixture of butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic salt). DELICIOUS!!

I made it exactly the way it was written. I would not change a thing, it's perfect! What's even better is my husband loves it :)

awesome on top of toasted french bread, tastes just like jalapeno poppers

Very tasty, served with Wheat Thins. I used a loaf pan and baked it and would recommend using a larger pan, as the parm. cheese was pretty thick after adding it all. Can't imagine if you used a bowl.

Took this to a card party and had many requests for the recipe. I did take other reviewers advice and used two cans of jalapenos, 1/2 mayo & 1/2 sour cream, put half of the parmesan cheese in the mix and mixed the other half with panko breadcrumbs and sprinkled on top. I didn't microwave, but baked it at 350 for about 15 mins until the topping was browned and the dip was bubbly. Served with Fritos Scoops corn chips and Triscuit Thin Crisps, and everyone liked the Triscuits better. Will definitely make again!

This is amazing! The only change I made was using 4 oz of jalapenos versus the 2 oz and I didn't use one cup of parm ... I used 1/2 cup and stirred it right in. Made mine in a small crock pot. THANK YOU! IT IS A HIT!

This is SO good. I make it for potlucks at work and everyone always expects it and asks for the recipe. I make it a little lower in fat sometimes by using half Greek yogurt, half mayo, and low fat cream cheese. Lowfat or non traditional mayo and nonfat cream cheese works ok, but doesn't taste nearly as good. I also top it with cheddar or Mexican blend instead of using Parmesan. It is delicious warm or cold.

I made this for a family get-together today and everyone loved it. I just now noticed that I didn't follow the recipe exactly--I used an 8 oz can of sliced jalapenos that I whizzed in the food processor and no green chiles--not sure how I got that out of reading the recipe, but it was delicious. I'm so glad to find this recipe--it will go on my do-again list!

Wow! I love this recipe and joy of jesus hints. I originally made it for all the guys in the family and was I ever surprised. We all loved it! I was looking at the recipe again for football day and realized I've never rated it. This is definitely a 5 star recipe.

I couldn't find canned diced jalapenos, so I diced canned whole jalapenos. I used four, but will probably use more next time. And there will be a next time.

I never heated it. I just severed it cold and I added four cooked pepper bacon slices chopped up in it as well. One of the other reviews mentioned that how she did her "regular" poppers and I thought why not!update I used Rye Triscuts at Thanksgiving because I had some that needed to be used, and this was very good with the Rye flavor!

I made this the first time and it was great. When I made it a second time I added bacon and that was even better. I recommend doing the recipe with and without bacon!!!!

WOW! Best dip for a football party ever, hands down! Guys went crazy over this. I made exactly as written with just a little more cheese, and placed in a 9" pie plate. Baked at 350 for about 40 minutes (it was just out of the fridge) until a light brown around the edge and bubbly. Yummy stuff! Thanks for sharing, Denise.

Very GOOD. I scaled recipe down to 8 servings. My cheese separated after coming out of the microwave (or it was green chili juice). After cooling some, it did mix better. I only added some Jalapeno after the kids ate their share!

man this is a good dip/spread!!!!! did the top with panco & parmie..yummm grew loads of jalapenos , so used 5 in this dip plus 2 cans of the green chiles..gets hotter the next day so look out!

Took this to a party last night and it was a huge success. Realized at the last minute I only had Miracle Whip so used a half and half mix of Miracle Whip and sour cream. Also added all of the juice from the jalapenos and green chilies because I was putting it in a crockpot and didn't want it to dry out. I mixed all of the Parmesan into it and it lasted great for hours.

Fantastic! Just took this out of the oven a half hour ago and three of us have already devoured half of it. Used the same ingredients but as others suggested I used l/2 mayo and l/2 sour cream and the whole 4 oz can of jalapenos. That made it just right. I also added l/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the mix. To the top cup of grated parmesan cheese, I added l/2 cup of plain panko bread crumbs. We liked eating it with a sliced french baguette and tostitos but it woud be absolutely wonderful on anything. It fit perfectly into a l0" round baking dish. Baked at 350 for l/2 hr. Thank you for this great creamy delicious spread!! LOVE IT

Amazing!!! Love this stuff! I like to make mine spicy. Great with bread.

Since I don't like cream cheese I only used half and a 1/2 cup mayo. I will make this many times in the future.

Wow-this is a great recipe! I stuck to the script, but with a little extra jalapenos, and I did mix the parm with some Panko bread crumbs. I baked according to the direction's variation. It was awesome! Served it with thinly sliced and toasted french bread (way better than tortilla chips, which you think would be good...but not so much)! I bet this would be awesome on little pieces of fry bread or fried sope bread! I will make this again!

Family really enjoyed this one at the holidays. It was hard to keep it tasting good without keeping it warm. Next time, I will keep it on a warming dish.

I would recommend tripling the amount of peppers in here, otherwise it just tasted like warm cream cheese. If you don't want too much heat, do it with the chile peppers and not the jalapenos.

Would really give it about 4.5.. very easy to put together, used a whole small can of chopped chilis, 2 fresh jalapenos chopped finely. put in the 1/4 Cup parm cheese and served warm. Most people loved it, a few thought it could be hotter, but that would scare others away! Served with wheat crackers and triscuits. YUMM!

I made this recipe for the first time on New Year's Eve. I made only a half recipe as I had many other snack items on the menu. BIG MISTAKE!! This was gobbled up in no time flat! I served the spread with tortilla chips, as that is what I had on hand. I did bake for 20 minutes at 400*F. Thank you for the delicious recipe!

This was not spicy enough for our tastes, even though I did double the amount of jalepenos to 4oz. The first time I baked it, I followed the recipe exactly, except for the doubling of the jalepenos. The second time I made it, I used the suggestion of another reviewer and put the mixture into little phyllo cups and topped with fresh Parmesan and jalepeno slices. I may try this again, but if I do, I will add another 4oz. can of jalepenos and maybe try it with the panko breadcrumbs on top as someone else suggested. Definitely fell short of my expectations, given the reviews.

Denise - your updates were right on the money - follow the recipe (and Denise's updates) for a dip everyone will be asking for!

Great quick yummy appetizer. I used a 7oz can of sliced jalapenos/drained and it wasn't too spicy. Sprinkled with both the parmesan cheese and some toasted bread crumbs I made with french bread. (Tear the bread and pulse in the blender until fine and then toast dry on the stovetop.) I had to take to a party the next day so I microwaved everything but the topping in a plastic bowl the night before. When I arrived at the party, I reheated in same bowl, then poured into pretty bright red dish and microwaved 2 minutes with topping. Add whole jalapeno for presentation

This was a definite hit at my Christmas party, and I have no doubt that the recipe is absolutely delicious as written. But I did vary mine a bit. I omitted the mayonnaise and just used the cream cheese. I used 2 4-oz cans of diced jalapenos and 1 4-oz can of green chilis. I also added about a cup of shredded cheddar cheese and omitted the parmesan. I served it with tortilla chips and everyone went home with the recipe. Thanks for the great dip recipe!

I made this receipe for Christmas Eve appetizer party and it was a HUGE hit! Everyone wanted the receipe. I changed just a few little things...I used the fire roasted green chilies, used 2-3 fresh jalapenos instead of the canned, added some chopped garlic and a little bit of chipotle Chulola sauce (its like Tabasco). I topped it with a mix of Panko breading and shredded Parmesan cheese to mimic the breading on a popper, and baked for 30 min. I served it with tortilla chips. I thought my family was going to lick the dish clean!! My boyfriend enjoyed it so much he asked me to make it again for New Years. **As a side note, I did add some bacon, just 2 strips chopped, but it really didn't add anything to the dip. When my cousin asked what was in the dip he was suprised that there was bacon in it.

I served this at a Easter Potluck at work and everyone loved it!!!

Absolutely yummy!!! I added sliced jalepenos to the top for color. Make lots of this because it will go fast!!

I love this simple recipe and my friends ask for it by name. I also add the Panko bread crumbs to the topping and bake in the oven. Thanks for sharing!

I brought this for a potluck at work and it was good but a little too much mayo. I'd say maybe cut the mayo amount in half and add more diced chilies. I used a cake beater to mix it all up and it made it look a little creamier. I recommend this.

This seriously is amazing stuff. I was reluctant whether this would actually taste like jalapeno popper AND it does. This is a great company dip.

This is SO good!!! A big hit at a little get-together last night - thanks for sharing the recipe. I used 4 fresh jalapenos (seeded and chopped) and it was just right - a bit of kick for those who like it yet not overly strong for those who don't. Sooooooo good!

my favorite dip ever!! I love it!!!
