Cook the bacon if not cooked already. Save 1 Tablespoon of the bacon fat if choosing to use. Chop the bacon.
Dice the jalapenos. Remove the seeds and white ribs if you want a milder heat. Keep them in for more spice.
Combine all of the cheese dip ingredients in an oven safe dish for serving. You do not need to mix them up yet.
Bake the cheese dip until the cheese is melted, stirring occasionally. If you want a crispy cheese top, after everything is melted and mixed, add a layer of mozzarella across the top and cook until browned. Pop under the broiler if needed for a few seconds.
Garnish with additional bacon and jalapeno if desired. Serve immediately with dunkers like chips or crostini.
