Jalapeno Popper Dip

2 8-oz. packages cream cheese, softened (light works great)

1 c. mayonnaise (light also works here, but DON’T use Miracle Whip!)

1 c. Parmesan cheese, grated
3 cloves garlic, pressed or finely minced
salt and pepper to taste

5-6 Jalapenos, seeded and diced
8oz bacon, cooked and crumbled

sliced baguettes, and/or crackers

Preheat oven to 350. If using bacon, reserve 2-3 Tbs and sprinkle on top of dip before baking.  Combine cream cheese, mayo, Parmesan, and garlic and stir until smooth.  Add salt and pepper.  Add jalapenos.  If using bacon, stir in bacon.  Spread dip into a 9″ pie plate or a small baking dish.  Sprinkle with remaining bacon if using.  Bake for 20-25 minutes or until dip is bubbly and golden brown.
