Spicy Jalapeno Dip Food

SPICY AND SWEET CRANBERRY JALAPENO DIP

Steps:

• 1. In a medium-sized bowl, add chopped cranberries, green onion, cilantro and jalapeno. (NOTE: Don't use a food processor to chop these. It is slightly time consuming, but the cranberries will liquify if they are not hand-chopped.).
• 2. Pour sugar, lemon juice and salt over cranberry mixture and stir gently until blended.
• 3. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for at least one hour. If you prefer less tart cranberries, keep in the refrigerator overnight.
• 4. Take cranberry mixture out of the refrigerator and stir all ingredients together. Strain out the liquid using a colander with small holes.
• 5. Spread cream cheese over bottom of a pie plate or 9×9 dish.
• 6. Pour cranberry mixture atop cream cheese and keep in refrigerator until ready to serve.
• 7. Serve with Ritz crackers and enjoy!

SPICY BAKED JALAPENO PIZZA DIP

Steps:

• Grease a 9-inch pie plate.
• In a large bowl combine the cream cheese with sour cream, pizza sauce, dried oregano, jalapeno pepper, fresh garlic and seasoned salt; mix until smooth and well combined.
• Mix in chopped onion and 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Season with desired amount of Tabasco or cayenne pepper.
• Spread the mixture into pie plate.
• Sprinkle the chopped pepperoni or salami and grated Parmesan cheese onto top of cream cheese mixture.
• At this point you may cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.
• Set oven to 350 degrees F (bottom rack).
• Bake for about 25 minutes or until hot.
• Sprinkle with 1 cup or more of mozzarella cheese then return to oven to melt the cheese.
• Sprinkle with green onions, then serve.

SPICY JALAPENO BACON CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Add cheese to bowl.
• I put the onion and jalapeno in the electric chopper until they are chopped fine. Add to cheese.
• Add bacon (use real bacon bits) and mayo
• Mix all together.
• Chill 30 minutes.
• I guessed on the mayo measurement -- so could be a little more or a little less.
• If it is too hot, take the seeds out of one of the jalapenos.
• Doesn't have to be chilled to eat (usually my husband can't wait).

SPICY JALAPENO ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• Drain and chop artichoke hearts.
• Combine artichoke hearts with remaining ingredients. Use as much or little of the jalapenos as you can handle. (When I make this for my family, I use an entire can, but when I make it for guests, I usually only use half of the can.).
• Pour into baking dish.
• Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and paprika.
• Bake at 400 degrees until bubbles around edges.
• Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, as a sandwich spread, etc.
• NOTE: Depending on preference, you can do a rough chop on the artichokes for a chunkier dip, or you can put all the ingredients (except for the cheese) in a blender to puree for a smoother dip.
