How to Make the BEST Smoking Pepper Jack Cheese Dip Recipe

Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Pepper Jack Cheese Dip: Shredded pepper jack cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, taco seasoning, garlic powder or granulated garlic, ground chipotle pepper, canned green chiles, cooked and crumbled bacon and fresh chives.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: Skillet for cooking the bacon, medium bowl, 1 1/2 quart baking dish, cheese grater, measuring cups and spoons, sharp knife and cutting board.
You could use a milder cheese in this recipe, of desired. Monterey jack or colby jack cheese will work well.
This dip is ideal for make-ahead assembling. Spread into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top then cover and chill.
You can also prepare the bacon one day in advance. Pop it into the refrigerator in a plastic storage bag until you’re ready to assemble with the rest of the ingredients.
When making in advance, allow some counter time around 20-30 minutes to allow it to come to room temperature prior to baking. If there’s no time, increase the baking time slightly until it’s bubbly and heated through.
Garnish with chopped chives or cilantro and serve immediately with your choice of dippers. Corn chips, scoops, tortilla chips, pretzel, potato chips or crostini are all tasty options.
Store baked Smoking Pepper Jack Cheese Dip chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in single serving portions in the microwave or in a preheat 350°F oven.
