Instructions

Add all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl, reserving 3/4 cup of the cheese, and mix together with a hand mixer on low speed- just until evenly combined.
4 jalapenos, 1 4 oz can green chiles, 8 oz cream cheese, 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 6 slices bacon, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Lightly spray an 8x8" baking dish, or other oven safe dish of equivalent size, with non stick cooking spray. Transfer the dip into the prepared dish and spread out in an even layer. Sprinkle the reserved cheese evenly out overtop.
Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes, just until hot and bubbly with melted cheese.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping options, and enjoy!

Notes

For a milder version, substitute poblano peppers for the jalapenos.
And for an extra spicy version, leave the seeds in the jalapeno peppers!
Trying not to heat up the house or to keep this warm while you transport? Make it in a crockpot instead. Add the dip to the bowl of your slow cooker, and sprinkle with cheese as instructed. Spread a paper towel out over top of the slow cooker, cover and cook on low heat for 1-2 hours. Dip can be kept hot and creamy on the 'warm' setting.
