TailGate Party Peppers

It's tailgating time again! Yippee! You know what that means don't you? Lots of fun times with friends and family. It also means cool weather, ( depending on where you are of course ), and quick, spicy, tailgate recipes. I can think of nothing more spicy than a recipe who's main ingredient happens to be jalapeno peppers. Ingredients needed: 18-20 large jalapenos, 1 pound of bacon, 6 oz. of aged provolone cheese, shredded (1½ cups), 8 oz. of Philadelphia® cream cheese, room temperature, 2 teaspoons of cumin, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Ingredients needed for Dipping Sauce: 16 ounces of sour cream, 1 packet (1 ounce) of Hidden Valley® The Original Ranch® Dips Mix. Preparations are as follows: Mix dipping sauce ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl and refrigerate. Fry bacon, drain, allow to cool. Crumble bacon into cream cheese and add all additional ingredients. Mix together well. Place cream cheese mixture inside a quart size GLAD® food storage bag. Cut off one of the corners to make a pastry bag. Cut off the top of the peppers approximately ¼ of an inch from the base of the stem and set tops aside. Stuff cream cheese mixture in top of peppers and replace caps. Wrap each pepper tightly in foil. Place wrapped peppers on the grill grate directly over a hot bed of charcoal and turn frequently for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the grill, let cool, unwrap and serve with Hidden Valley Ranch dipping sauce to cool down the spice from the peppers. Enjoy.
