Fear not! This dip isn't too hot.

You might think that 6 jalapeños might make this dip too spicy. Fear not. Instead, this dip is very flavorful and has just the right amount of pleasant heat.

In addition to the jalapeños, cream cheese and shredded cheddar make this dip melty and creamy, while bacon puts things over the top.

    Can you freeze this?? I am supposed to make it for a party that will more than likely be cancelled due to illness!

      Hey there! I haven't tried freezing it, but my gut says that you should be able to. The texture of the breadcrumbs may get a little soggy, but I think it should be fine. Fingers crossed that everyone stays healthy and the party goes off without a hitch!
