Bubbly, Happy Goodness in a Cheesy Jalapeno Dip

Bubbly, Happy Goodness in a Cheesy Jalapeno Dip #recipe

I happen to work with some amazing and creative people who love to eat. After a particularly hard month, some clever folks started Dip Day. It started small and over the last nine years, has grown.

Dip day

It is a magnificent day of sweet and savory delights that make a visit to the gym a necessity. And, an extra trip to the gym is worth it.

I love hot and spicy. As I headed to the grocery store, I kept in mind the jalapenos I had in my fridge. I was originally going to make something easy, but could not stop thinking of a recipe I saw scrolling through yummly. Something with cream cheese and hot sauce.

Cheesy Jalapeno Dip ingredients

What I came up with was so much better than I imagined. Hot, spicy, and cheesy. Worth staying up past my bedtime to put it all together!

Giant Eagle has a new shredded cheese - Chipotle Shredded Cheese. It gave the dish a nice smoky taste to compliment the chilies and jalapenos. (this is not a sponsored post, I just like the products!)

I baked the dish the night before and just microwaved it when it was time to serve. I liked it cold, but next time I may make it in a crockpot to keep it hot and bubbly.

This dip is so tasty. I really could have eaten this all on my own. It was hard to share it.
