HOW TO MAKE IT :
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a standard baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wearing gloves, slice the jalapenos in half. Use a spoon to remove the membrane and seeds. Cut a thin flat slice from the bottom of the pepper so it will remain upright while baking.
- Use a hand mixer, to beat together the cream cheese, buttermilk dressing, onion powder and garlic salt. Beat for 2 minutes until creamy.
- Add the crumbled bacon, ½ of the shredded Colby-Jack cheese and 2 thinly sliced green onions. Mix by hand until combined.
- Divide the mixture between the halved peppers. Depending on the size of the peppers you use, your yield may be greater.
- Sprinkle the top of each pepper with shredded Colby-Jack cheese and crushed ranch flavored Doritos.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the peppers are tender and tops are golden. Cool on the pan for 3-5 minutes before serving.
- These poppers can be served as is or with your favorite dipping sauces.
