Cream Cheese Pepper Jelly Dip
Sweet, spicy, creamy, smoky - this Cream Cheese Pepper Jelly Dip has it all and it’s so crazy good! It’s the hit of every party!
Ingredients
- 2 8 oz blocks of cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 11 oz jar of pepper jelly, divided
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced, divided
- 1-2 tsp favorite seasoning, we use Special Shit seasoning but you can use Everything but the Bagel seasoning, too
- 8 slices crispy bacon, chopped up
- 1-2 packages of pita chips or butter crackers or favorite sturdy chips
Instructions
- In a stand mixer, add the softened 2 blocks of cream cheese, and whip on high speed for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the shredded cheddar, ⅓ of the jar of pepper jelly, half of the diced green onion, plus your favorite seasoning. Whip until smooth. If you need to add 1-2 tsp of water to make it a little creamier, this is an option.
- Spread the whipped dip onto a dinner plate.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- To serve, remove the dip from the refrigerator and immediately spread the remaining pepper jelly all over the top with a spatula. Top with the fresh chopped crunchy bacon and finely chopped green onions.
- Serve with a round of butter crackers or pita chips (the thicker ones), or your favorite crackers and chips.
- ENJOY!
Notes
Optional to bake the dip at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. If you do this, place in a greased pie pan, and bake BEFORE adding the spread of pepper jelly on top, bacon, and green onions. Serve right away.
