Pro Tips for Success:

  • Customize the heat: If you’re not a fan of spicy foods, skip the jalapeño or use just a small amount for a milder flavor.

  • Bacon alternatives: For a vegetarian version, skip the bacon and add some smoked paprika to get a rich, smoky flavor.

  • Make it ahead: This dip actually tastes better when chilled for a couple of hours, so prep it ahead of time and just grab it out of the fridge when you’re ready to serve.

  • Add a zesty twist: A squeeze of lime juice over the dip before serving gives it a refreshing burst of flavor.
