Cheesy? Check! Creamy? Check. Smoky? Check. This Super Bowl-worthy dip has it all. And the jalapeños add a nice kick, offset by the creaminess of the Mexican cheese, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. This homemade dip is sure to be the star of the show. This dip is also really easy to make. Start by frying some bacon in a cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan. Then chop the slices into bits. Next, make your dip by combining cream cheese, Mexican cheese, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, jalapeño slices, and seasoning. Be sure to use gloves, so you don't accidentally get pepper in your eye when you rub your eyes.

You'll then want to place the cheese mixture in your cast-iron skillet and top with some cheese, bacon, and jalapeño peppers. Then bake in the oven until golden. Serve with baguette slices or our Keto Tortilla Chips.
