Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 6 slices bacon, cut in half
• 12 toothpicks
• 1 (1.25 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix the cream cheese with the onion soup mix in a bowl until smooth. Fill the jalapeno pepper halves with the cheese mixture. Wrap each pepper with a piece of bacon to enclose the filling, and secure with a toothpick.

Step 2

Place peppers in a skillet over medium heat, and cook until the bacon is crisp on all sides, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly and serve.

Step 3

To make the dip, place the sour cream in a bowl, and mix with any leftover cream cheese mixture. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
