Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese softened
½ cup sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise
1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
4 large jalapeno peppers seeds removed and finely diced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup bacon cooked and crumbled

Instructions

In a large bowl or food processor, combine softened cream cheese with mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth using an electric mixer.
Stir in shredded cheese, diced jalapeños, cooked, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Transfer the mixture to a small cast iron skillet or baking dish. Spread evenly with a spatula. Top with sliced jalapeno for garnish. Place the skillet in the smoker.
Smoke the jalapeno popper dip for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbly. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
Remove from the smoker, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately with your favorite dippers.

Notes

Soften the cream cheese so the dip blends up smoothly.

Wear rubber gloves to protect your skin when dicing the jalapeno peppers.

Leave some seeds from the jalapeno peppers in to make the dip spicier.

Keep the dip warm in the oven or transfer it to a slow cooker.
