Plain yogurt is a cost-effective substitute with similar tang.

Slice the bottom of the jalapeno to create a flat surface for stability.

Cut down from the top to remove the flesh while avoiding the seeds.

Cut the jalapeno flesh into thin strips with the skin side up to prevent juice squirting.

Use scissors to cut the jalapeno directly into the mixing bowl to minimize contact with seeds.

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 packages of cream cheese, 1 cup of mayonnaise, 8 slices of crumbled bacon, 4 chopped jalapeno peppers, and 1 cup of cheese blend.

Stir all ingredients together until well mixed.

Transfer the mixture to a pie dish or a container that holds at least 6 cups.

Top the mixture with 1/2 cup of cheese.

Bake in the oven at 350°F for 20 minutes.

Serve warm with chips or a veggie tray.
