Really Good Jalapeño Dip
I love having a few go-to dips to prepare for parties or impromptu get-togethers. This Really Good Jalapeño Dip just moved into the Top 5 of my go-to dip recipes. Let me explain.
I was back home for a while this past Christmas. During that time there were lots of family gatherings. My dad's wife Michelle had a new dip recipe to share: a jalapeño dip. At first glance, it appeared basic, but one bite proved otherwise. Served chilled, the simple combination of flavors resulted in a really good dip. I was hooked.
This dip made several appearances throughout the week I was in St. Marys, and I was never disappointed. At several points, I physically stop myself from overindulging on it. But, of course, before I left I had to ask for the recipe so I could share it with all of you.
As you know, I use the phrase "really good" instead of "the best" here on IBC. Since I haven't tried all of the jalapeño dips in the world, I can't claim that this is the best. However, I can tell you that this dip is really, really, really good!!
Besides the flavor, one of the things I love about this recipe is that it comes together quickly. Counting the time it takes to chop the peppers, the total prep time is under 10 minutes.
Since this dip contains jalapeños, I assume you're wondering about the spiciness. To be honest, it's not that spicy. Michelle recommends using the pith (the white part in the pepper) and seeds from one of the jalapeño peppers. That's what she did. There was a touch of heat, but all that cheese keeps the spiciness to a minimum.
If you want more heat, use the pith and seeds from more than one of the jalapeños. If you don't like heat, don't include any pith or seeds.
No matter what spiciness level you prefer, I think you're going to love this recipe as much as my family did. We're obsessed!
