Ingredients:

PEPPERS

• 4 jalapeño peppers
• Salt
• 8 bacon strips
• STUFFING
• 1 cup cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon minced green onions
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ cup MTN DEW^®

DIP

• ¼ cup sour cream
• ½ cup MTN DEW^®
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 3 drops neon green food coloring

How to make it:

PEPPERS

1. Make a fine cut on just one side of the jalapeños, removing seeds and veins with a spoon. As best you can, try to keep the original shape of the pepper without breaking it.
2. 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

1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine cream cheese, garlic powder, minced green onions and MTN DEW^®.
2. Stuff the peppers with the prepared mixture, and wrap in bacon strips, using toothpicks to attach them securely.

DIP

1. In another bowl, combine all ingredients needed for the dip
2. Grill or bake the peppers until the bacon is crispy, then set aside. Remove the toothpicks and serve alongside the dip.
