How to make Jalapeño Popper Dip:

Step One: Get started by preheating your oven to 375 degrees. Then prepare a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

I used a 8×8 dish or any smaller dish that is oven safe will work.

Can this Jalapeno Popper Dip be made in advance?

Yup, you sure can make this ahead of time! I would not recommend cooking the topping and waiting to do that step when you cook it and are ready to serve it.

If you want to make it in advance, cook it in a baking dish that has a lid. Once it is done being baked, allow it too fully cool. Place it in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve. It will last up to 7 days in the refrigerator.

When ready to serve preheat the oven to 375 degrees and prepare the topping. Reheat for about 10 to 15 minutes until it is heated throughout.

How to store Jalapeno Popper Dip:

Store leftover dip in the refrigerator for up to five days. I do not recommend freezing leftovers of this recipe.

Can be served immediately but also tastes great when made ahead. This allows the flavors to meld together. If making ahead store in the fridge until ready to serve; dip should be brought back to room temperature before serving.

  1. This recipe is delicious. I have made it several times and always get tons of compliments and an empty dish at the end of the night.

    If you dont like garlic, you can cut back or omit that.
