My review
Ryan's Reverse Popper Dip
Cat Hill
"Before my son left for boot camp, I wanted to give him a going away party complete with all of his favorite foods. There wasn't enough time to stuff and wrap jalapenos for poppers so I took his favorite recipe and turned it into a warm spicy dip that disappeared faster than any poppers I've ever made! Serve warm with your favorite chips."

Ready In
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; place a baking rack atop the aluminum foil.
- Lay bacon strips in a single layer on the baking rack.
- Bake in the preheated oven until crisp, 25 to 35 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion in the hot oil until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
- Coarsely chop 4 slices bacon; mix with bread crumbs in a bowl. Coarsely chop the remaining 4 slices bacon to mix with dip.
- Mix Neufchatel cheese, Cheddar cheese, onion-garlic mixture, chopped bacon, jalapeno peppers, cumin, and oregano in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle. Spoon mixture using a rubber spatula into an 8-inch pie pan. Sprinkle bread crumb-bacon mixture over dip.
- Bake in the preheated oven until dip is bubbling and topping is lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- This is a moderately spicy dish. Use fewer jalapenos if you would like it on the milder side. Wear plastic gloves when chopping jalapeno peppers!
- Tip
- Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.

'Really surprised I didn't love this. Really surprised. I prefer just cream cheese, not cheddar, poppers so may be a link there. :/ 'Wasn't spicy, more cheesy, cheesy, cheesy. :(

I made two small changes--I used a good amount of homemade roasted sweet onion and one four ounce can of diced mild green chilies instead of the fresh diced jalapeno peppers. (My apologies to th...

I think I'm the only person I know who has never had jalapeño poppers. They never appealed to me as I was intimidated by putting a hot pepper in my mouth. (weird, I know). This dip is a fantast...

Cat, this is wonderful! DH said this is his new football dip! Really glad the jalepenos are doing well in the garden. This will be made often, thank you!

This is so flavorful! It is rich and creamy and slightly spicy. Absolutely decadent, but actually rather figure friendly. Thanks, Cat, this was worth waiting for!
