Jalapeno Popper Dip

 
1 (4 oz.) jar of jalapenos, diced
2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup real bacon bits
1/2 cup bread crumbs

Mix sour cream and cream cheese together until smooth. Stir in bacon, shredded cheddar, jalapenos, and bread crumbs until well combined. Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Best served with Ritz crackers.

My brother came into town this past Monday to spend the night with us while he was on vacation. Per usual, I knew that I would have some good snacky foods on hand to partake in while he was here. I was going to make the Hot Bacon and Swiss Dip, and then realized that we haven't tried a new recipe in FOREVER! So I scrolled through the thousands of recipes that I have pinned, and came across this one. I will be honest, I didn't measure the cheese, bacon, or jalapenos. I stuck with the cream cheese and sour cream measurements, and then added from there. We love things spicy in this house, so on top of the jalapenos, I added some jalapeno powder to the mix. Deeeeeelicous!!!! I made the dip again when my in-laws came over the other night, and it was a huge hit. My other brother came into town today and as soon as he tasted it he asked for the recipe. So, that being said, you need to try this dip! It is absolutely wonderful! Definitely a good one to make during football season!
