8 strips of bacon, chopped
2 cloves garlic
2 fresh jalapenos, chopped, plus more for garnish
2 8 oz. blocks cream cheese, softened
1/3 c. mayonnaise
1/3 c. sour cream
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
8 oz. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 c. crushed, thick yellow corn tortilla chips, plus more chips for serving
Sliced, toasted baguette, for serving
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Heat a 10” cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook
for 8-10 minutes until crispy. Remove from the heat and transfer the bacon to a paper-towel lined plate
to drain. Remove all but a thin layer of bacon grease from the skillet (about 2 tablespoons remaining).
Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the garlic and jalapeno. Cook 2 minutes until slightly softened.
Remove from the heat. Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and
black pepper. Stir or whisk until smooth. Stir in about two-thirds of the bacon.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese all over the top of the dip, followed by the crushed chips. Bake for 12-14
minutes, until the edges are bubbly and the cheese is melted all over. Top with the remaining cooked
bacon and extra slices of jalapeno. Serve with more tortilla chips and toasted baguette.
