You’re definitely not going to be wasting your entire day in the kitchen getting this stuff ready. Probably the most time-consuming task is slicing the bread. The other thing is that it’s CHEAP! You probably already have half of the stuff on hand and the rest of it is unlikely to cost you more than a couple of bucks. Once it’s stirred, add in some green chilies and jalapenos A completely optional addition is crumbled bacon, which gives it that bacon-wrapped-jalapeno-popper taste. If you do decide to use bacon, just save a few tablespoons to sprinkle on top, and stir the rest in. The ingredients might sound weird, and the mixture might not knock your socks off before you’ve cooked it, but once it’s hot and bubbly and cheesey, I’d love to see you try and stop eating it once you’ve started…
Ingredients: 2 8-oz. packages cream cheese, softened (light works great) 1 c. mayonnaise (light also works here, but DON’T use Miracle Whip!) 1 c. Parmesan cheese 2 cloves garlic, pressed or finely minced 1 4-oz. can fire roasted green chilies 1/2-1 4-oz. can diced jalapeno peppers*, drained optional: 8oz bacon, cooked and crumbled 1-2 sourdough baguettes, sliced, a bag of tortilla chips, and/or crackers *1/2 can is mild with a little bite, a whole can is definitely on the spicy side, but if you’ve got taste buds of steel, you might prefer a 7-oz. can. 4 ounces definitely pushes the limit for my husband and I and our kids won’t touch it.
