In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped dill pickles, softened cream cheese, and sour cream.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and finely chopped jalapeño to the bowl.
Stir all ingredients together until thoroughly combined.
For a fun presentation, spoon the dip back into the empty pickle jar or into a serving bowl.
Garnish with additional chopped green onions and a sprinkle of paprika. Serve with your favorite crackers or chips.
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Serve chilled or bring to room temperature for 15 minutes. Do not freeze.
Yes. Mix the dip up to 24 hours in advance, cover, and refrigerate. Stir gently before serving. You can transfer it to the pickle jar just before guests arrive.
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and let it sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes, or microwave it in 10-second intervals, stirring between each pulse.
Yes, but pulse briefly to avoid over-processing. You want visible pieces, not a purée. Stop when the pieces are finely chopped but still chunky.
Mild cheddar, Gruyère, or even a smoked cheddar all work. The dip will taste slightly different but remain delicious.
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. The flavor actually deepens after a day as the dill and pickle brine infuse the cheese.
