Ingredients

6 strips Thick cut bacon
4 Jalapeno peppers, diced
8 oz Cream cheese
8 oz Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 oz Diced mild green chiles
1 tbsp Dad's All Purpose rub
2 tbsp Freshly chopped cilantro

Instructions

Start by cooking the strips of bacon to get the crispy. You can use a cast iron skillet, microwave or a griddle. When done, let them cool and chop them up.
In a mixing bowl, add cream cheese, shredded cheddar (leave 1/2 cup to the side), diced jalapenos, diced green chiles, Dad's All purpose rub and the chopped up bacon. Mix the ingredients together and place in a cast iron skillet. Top it all off with a handful of shredded cheddar and a few jalapeno slices.
Preheat the grill to 350 degrees and set for indirect heat. Place the skillet on the grill and let it cook for 20-30 minutes until the cheese has melted.
Remove the skillet from the grill, allow it to cool down, garnish with fresh cilantro, more crispy bacon, serve and enjoy!

Notes

- Make the dip on the grill. It adds a nice layer of smokiness.

- Add flavor with different cheese varieties. Don't be scared of the smelly ones.

- Do NOT season the bacon with any spices. This is a very savory dish from the cheese and seasoning. Any more, and it will be too salty
