Equipment

  • small slow cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz cream cheese 2 (8 oz) pkgs
  • 0.25 cup yellow onion finely diced
  • 0.5 cup banana pepper rings finely chopped
  • 6 strips bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1.5 cup shredded pepperjack cheese
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 0.25 cup reserved juice from the banana pepper jar
  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes optional

Instructions
 

  • Put all the ingredients in a small crock pot or slow cooker, and let it go an hour on high or 2 hours on low, stirring occasionally.
  • Alternatively, the dip can be made in the oven, baking at 350°F for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
  • Or the microwave can be used as well. Serve with tortilla chips.

Notes

I used banana pepper rings so I did not have seeds. Whole banana peppers could also be used for this recipe if desired. As this dip sits, it may firm up slightly; simply add more juice from the banana pepper jar (or water) to return to original consistency.
