INSTRUCTIONS
PEPPERS
- Make a fine cut on just one side of the jalapenos, removing seeds and veins with a spoon. As best you can, try to keep the original shape of the pepper without breaking it.
- Once all the peppers are clean, add salt to the insides. Dip them into the MTN DEW and allow them to marinate for an hour.
STUFFING
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine cream cheese, garlic powder, minced green onions and MTN DEW.
- Stuff the peppers with the prepared mixture, and wrap in bacon strips, using toothpicks to attach them securely.
DIP
- In another bowl, combine all ingredients needed for the dip
- Grill or bake the peppers until the bacon is crispy, then set aside. Remove the toothpicks and serve alongside the dip.
