I took this to work and half of it was gone in the first 20 minutes..breakfast time! the rest of it was gone shortly after...

While I don't typically enjoy jalapenos, this dip is simply delicious. I skipped the panko and kept it warm in a small crockpot.

A hit with all! I used Monterey pepper jack and omitted the jalapeños (only cause I didn't have them on hand) and it was delicious!

Absolutely delicious! I couldn't believe how well it turned out! This is my new go-to dip.

I have made this on several different occassions and it is loved by all that have tried it.

OMG!!!! This was soooo delicious! I love jalapeno poppers but have not been very successful at making them. The stuffing never seems to stay where I put it. After making this dip, I'll never try to stuff another jalapeno again. This is so much easier! Yummmy :)

I made this for a birthday celebration. Everyone raved about it, and my adult children declared it a "keeper". Absolutely delicious!

Made this tonight. It's sooooo good. I made a few small changes.

I used Sharp Cheddar instead of Monterey Jack (and used more than 1/2 cup in the mixed portion). I also used about 1/2 cup diced jalapeno peppers. Finally, I used 1/2 cup Parmesan and 1/2 cup Sharp Cheddar on top.

Perfection! Can't wait to make this again!

Made this over the weekend and family loved it. Not too spicy, we'd kick it up just a little, but for the timid make it just like it is. I did substitute all cheeses with low fat and it worked for us. Won't be able to rate the diff since we loved the low fat version and probably won't ever try the recipe with anything else. I used 1/2 sour cream and 1/2 mayo because I'm not a huge fan of tasting mayo in a hot dip. I think this recipe lends itself to a lot of personal taste choices, which I think adds to what I consider a 5-star and fabulous recipe! Good job!

Comfort food epitimized and easy to throw together for dinner as a side or a party as an appetizer.

It's funny to read some of the reviews because I when I read this recipe, I thought the same thing...it's going to be the new buffalo chicken dip. I'm not sure I like it as well, and I know by husband doesn't, but still an excellent rating from me because it is different and very tasty. I would maybe half the recipe the next time I make it. It makes an awful lot. I like the panko crumbs on top. I used light cream cheese and mayonnaise.

I have made this dip several times, and have always been asked for the recipe! I served it with celery sticks as well as the corn chips and it was a great combo. Easy to prepare and enjoyed by all = WINNING RECIPE!

Not too spicy, wonderful flavor and my 10 year grand son loved it along with his dad

This was delicious. I cut the mayo by half and added crumbled bacon between the parm and the breadcrumbs. It didn't take much effort, either.

This dip is so yummy! It really does taste like a Jalapeno Popper! We usually crave the buffalo chicken dip but this dip will be our new go to snack! Thanks for sharing

This was amazingly delicious and has now replaced my family's favorite Buffalo Chicken Dip. Definitely a crowd-pleaser!! I used grated Parmesan-Romano, and it worked well. Although the stars are not appearing for me to select, I'd rate this with all stars!!

I made this for a work function we had worried i'd bring most of this back home. well by the time i went for my serving it was almost all gone. it was such a hit! I most definitely would make this again and again.

My mother-in-law made this for our weekly dinner date last night. It was fantastic! Not too spicy. Definitely a keeper! It would also be great with bread or crackers.

This recipe was delicious. My sister served it prior to her son receiving his Eagle Scout. I loved it.

This recipe was very easy to make and tasted very good. It really does taste like Jalapeno poppers. I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise in dips so I cut back on that and added more cream cheese. Also, I didn't have any green chilies so I used a whole can of diced jalapenos.
