Think beyond tortilla chips for this crowd-pleasing dip. You don't want to deny guests the deliciousness of chips, but those can get a little heavy; supplement with veggie dippers to keep things lighter overall. We suggest mini sweet peppers because their sweetness helps offset the heat of the jalapeños.
This is good but I used reduced fat cheese and it didn't melt very well on top. Also, i would put the bacon in the dip next time and maybe add a can of Rotel.
I made this and brought it to a party - unfortunately I got to the party late and the savory foods were being cleared away before I got to share this dish. The good news is that I was able to bring it home and eat it. I used it as a burrito filling and it was quite delicious. I did not use the bacon crumbles and if I make it again I will once again forgo them . I did however use the full fat cream cheese I had in the refrigerator . I smoked the jalapenos a few days earlier and chopped them and froze them to hasten the prep process on party day. All good!
