Number Of Ingredients 11

8 slice(s) bacon cooked crispy and crumbled
2 package(s) (8 ounce) softened cream cheese
1 cup(s) mayonnaise
4-6 - jalapenos, seeded and diced
1 cup(s) queso chihuahua or asadero, may use cheddar, shredded
1/2 cup(s) queso oaxaca, shredded (may use mozzarella)
1/4 cup(s) diced green onion
TOPPING
1 cup(s) panko bread crumbs (can use ritz crackers crushed)
1/2 cup(s) queso cotija (can use parmesan)
1/4 cup(s) melted butter

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350.
Combine all of the ingredients into a medium bowl. Stir well. Transfer to an oven proof dish. The size of the dish depends on how thick the dip is. A 12 inch dish will make your dip about an inch thick.
Combine the topping ingredients and sprinkle all over the top of the dip.
Bake the dip for 20-30 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown on top.
Notes: If you like cilantro you can add a little bit of fresh chopped into dip. You can also add just a touch of cumin into the melted butter before stirring into the topping. Serve with chips, tortillas, pitas, or crackers.
