Instructions
 

  • Mix the cheeses and creams: In the crock pot, add softened cream cheese, cheddar, Monterey Jack, mayo, and sour cream. Stir until smooth and creamy.
    8 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup cheddar cheese, 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, ½ cup sour cream, ½ cup mayonnaise
  • Add the peppers and seasonings: Fold in diced jalapenos, green chilies, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
    2-3 jalapeno peppers, 1 can green chilies, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine Parmesan, panko, and melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are fully coated.
    ½ cup Parmesan cheese, ½ cup panko bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons butter
  • Assemble in the crock pot: Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the dip, covering it completely.
  • Cook the dip: Set the crock pot to low and cook for 1 to 2 hours, stirring halfway, until hot and bubbly.
  • Add finishing touches: Top with crispy bacon and extra jalapenos. Serve warm with tortilla chips or crackers.

Notes

  • Soften the cream cheese first. Cold cream cheese leaves lumps that never fully melt. Leave it out on the counter, or microwave it for a few seconds before it goes in.
  • Grate your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese is coated in starch to stop it clumping, and that starch is what makes a slow cooker dip turn grainy.
  • Low heat only. On high, the sour cream and cheese split and the dip goes oily. Low for 1-2 hours, with a stir halfway, keeps it smooth.
  • Bacon and panko go on last. Both lose their crunch if they sit in the hot dip. Add the bacon just before serving and keep the topping on the surface rather than stirred through.
