Jalapeno Bacon Dip

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. 2

   Cut the stems off the jalapenos (see note).

3. 3

   Chop the peppers.

4. 4

   In a food processor, add the chopped jalapenos (with the amount of seeds you want), cream cheese, 1 cup Parmesan, sour cream, bacon (reserve a few tablespoons for garnish), smoked paprika, and garlic powder and process until well combined.

5. 5

   Pour into a baking dish.

6. 6

   Garnish with remaining cheese and bacon.

7. 7

   Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. 8

   Serve warm.

9. 9

   Note: Since the seeds of the jalapenos contain most of the heat, you can adjust the heat level of your dip depending on how many seeds you leave in.

10. 10

    For a mild dip, remove them all; for an extra spicy dip, leave them all in.

11. 11

    I removed the seeds from one pepper and left the seeds from the other.

12. 12

    The dip was at the perfect heat level for some, but too spicy for others.

13. 13

    I would recommend removing at least half of the seeds to serve to a large group.
