Smoky Jalapeno Popper Dip:
2 8 oz. packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup Mayonnaise
1 cup Parmesan Cheese
3/4 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
1 4oz. can green chilies, undrained
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped **
Preheat oven to 375. Mix cream cheese and mayonnaise til combined. Add Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, the entire can of green chilies including the liquid, and the jalapeno peppers. Stir well to combine and place mixture in a 9 inch glass pie plate sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes until browning on top and bubbly. Serve warm with tortilla chips.
**NOTE Be careful when working with jalapeno peppers. Instead of plastic gloves, I always use the plastic produce bags from the grocery store and just kind of wrap them around my hands before I chop. You can just double bag your jalapenos at the store and Wa-La, when you get home you have "gloves"! Then wash your hands after seeding and chopping your jalapenos.**
I love this stuff! I have a question though...I don't really want to mess with jalapenos . Can I used already chopped from a can (gasp)?
ReplyDeleteAdrienne, you could use 2-4oz canned/jarred jalapenos, depending on how spicy you want it. I just usually have fresh on hand because they come in a large bag from.....you guessed it.....the 99cent store and I buy them to make homemade salsa.
