  1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced fresh jalapeños, minced garlic, and white parts of green onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Prepare the slow cooker by spraying with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Transfer sautéed jalapeño mixture into the slow cooker. Add cubed cream cheese, shredded cheeses, sour cream, and half of the crispy bacon. Stir to combine.
  4. Cover and set slow cooker to low heat. Cook for about 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes until melted and smooth.
  5. Remove lid, stir gently, and top with remaining bacon and sliced green onion tops. Serve immediately with dippers.
