Guilt-Free Jalapeno Artichoke Dip | DizzyBusyandHungry.com - Creamy, cheesy, flavorful dip made with cream cheese, artichokes, and jalapenos, perfect for the big game or any party! #appetizer #healthyLightened up and SOOO tasty, you are going to love this dip so much you might not even want to share it with guests!  I confess I have made it several times just for me the four of us to eat, and in fact I even used it in a chicken recipe so that I could legitimately have it for dinner, haha! (I will be sharing that recipe on the blog soon!)

This recipe is an evolution of a previous recipe I posted WAY back when I first started blogging.  I decided I wanted to do a photo makeover, and I also tweaked the instructions a little for the slow cooker.

However, the microwave directions still work as well, and I will include them below, because sometimes you just need to have that snack in 4 minutes as opposed to 90!   🙂

I actually use jarred jalapenos in the recipe, and use the fresh jalapenos just for garnish.

I find fresh jalapenos to be a little bit of a pain to slice and remove the seeds, and for this recipe the jarred version works just as well and makes the recipe quicker to prepare!

  10. Yumm. What a great dip! I think I’ll have to make this for football on Sunday! I use the jarred jalapenos for that very same reason. I like to chop, but sometimes you just don’t want to, and the jarred jalapenos are a good option.

    • Yeah, I agree! For some things, fresh jalapenos really are best, but I think in this recipe it really doesn’t matter. Thanks, Marion! 🙂
