Equipment

  • 10-inch cast iron pan

Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices bacon, divided
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 large jalapenos, minced with seeds and membranes removed (divide in half)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ground
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped + extra for garnish
  • 1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
  • 1 ½ cups pepper jack cheese, shredded and divided

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Place a paper towel onto a microwave-safe dinner plate. Place 4 strips of bacon side-by-side on the plate. Cover with another paper towel. Cook on high for 4-5 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. Repeat with the remaining slices. The outer slices can cook faster than the inside pieces, so check them after 4 minutes.
  • Place the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, half of the jalapenos, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire, chili powder, and cayenne pepper into a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth. Add the cilantro and 1 1/4 cups of each cheese and mix well. Crumble 4 strips of bacon mix into the cheese mixture.
  • Spoon into a cast iron skillet and smooth the top. Crumble the last 2 strips of bacon and sprinkle it on top. Sprinkle the leftover cheese and jalapenos on top.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until bubbly. Remove it from the oven and sprinkle the leftover cilantro on top. Serve warm with tortilla chips, toasted bread slices, bread sticks, fresh vegetables, or crackers.

Notes

Bacon

You can chop and fry the bacon in a skillet instead of microwaving it. Drain on a paper towel before using.
