Ingredients

For the filling:

  • 4 slices bacon
  • 16 oz. plain cream cheese regular or 1/3 less fat
  • 1 c. sour cream regular or light
  • 4 oz. diced jalapeños
  • 4 oz. diced green chiles mild, medium or hot
  • 2 c. grated Colby jack cheese divided
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. coriander
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1/4 tsp. cumin

For the topping:

  • 2 tbsp. melted butter
  • 2/3 c. panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp. freshly chopped parsley optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place a 12-inch cast iron skillet or non-stick oven-safe pan over medium heat. Cook bacon until crispy, transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Crumble once cool.
  • While the pan is cooling, in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, add the cream cheese, sour cream, diced jalapeños, green chiles, 1 1/2 cups Colby jack cheese, garlic powder, coriander, paprika, cumin, and bacon. Using a hand mixer or the stand mixer, mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Pour the grease out of the skillet and discard. Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel. Transfer filling into the skillet, spread into an even layer using a spatula.
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Add the breadcrumbs and toss until coated.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the filling. Top with buttered breadcrumbs and transfer to the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes or until bubbly and the breadcrumbs are golden brown in color.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm with your favorite chips.

Notes

-Don't want it so spicy? Try using all mild diced green chiles instead.
