Ingredients

10 slices bacon, cooked
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 jalapeños, minced
1 can mild green chilies, diced
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar
1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup original bread crumbs
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
Chili powder

Instructions

Fully cook bacon then drain, chop and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350℉.
In a large bowl, stir together cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, most of the cooked bacon (reserve some for topping), most of the jalapenos (reserve some for topping), 1 can of diced green chilies, bread crumbs, and 1 cup each of cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese. Season with salt, pepper and chili powder.
Transfer to a small oven-safe baking dish and sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, cooked bacon and jalapeno on top.
Bake until dip is bubbly and golden brown, about 20 minutes (For extra-golden cheese, broil for 3 minutes).
Serve with fresh vegetables, tortilla chips or baguette slices. 
Enjoy!

Notes

Try pepper jack cheese or Swiss cheese for a bit of a different cheesy flavor. You can also double the recipe for a larger gathering.
