Notes

Makes A Large Party Batch: This recipe yields plenty for a crowd! Feel free to halve the recipe if needed—just use a smaller pan and keep the baking time about the same.
Pair With Frito Scoops: These add an extra layer of corn flavor that complements the dip perfectly.
Soften Cream Cheese First: Let it come to room temperature before mixing to make blending much easier and ensure a smooth, creamy base.
Make Ahead Friendly: Assemble the dip and refrigerate it until you're ready, then bake just before serving for a hot, fresh appetizer.
Adjust The Heat Level: Drain the jalapeños or use less of them if you prefer a milder dip that's still flavorful.
Reheats Beautifully: Leftover dip warms up well in either the oven or microwave, so nothing goes to waste.
