Bacon Chipotle Dip
This Bacon Chipotle Dip is a flavorful, smoky, and spicy dip that pairs perfectly with fried cheese, chips, or any of your favorite snacks. The combination of creamy sour cream, zesty spices, and the heat of chipotle peppers creates a truly mouthwatering experience. I crafted this dip for my wife when I made some fried cheese, though I toned down the spice level for her by using only half a chipotle. Personally, I would have added the full chili, seeds and all, to crank up the heat! Chipotle peppers are simply fire-roasted jalapeños, and their smoky flavor really elevates this dip to the next level. To roast the jalapeños, simply place them directly over the flame of your gas range for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they’re soft and blackened. Then, run cold water over them and peel off the charred skin. This easy dip comes together in no time and is perfect for casual gatherings or just a quick snack.
