In this episode, Trisha also prepares her version of a jalapeno popper, called Jalapeno Popper Dip. She shares how easy it is to make, with only a few ingredients, and how versatile it can be for different occasions. She starts with frying some bacon and setting it aside. Then, she takes cream cheese, mayo, and sour cream and blends them in a bowl. To the bowl, she adds jalapenos, cumin, garlic and onion powder, and cheddar cheese. Once the dip has come together, she adds the bacon bits, stirs it together and places it in the oven to bake.
