Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapeños

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for less heat.

  2. 2

    Stuff the Jalapeños

    In a bowl, mix the Monterey Jack cheese with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried dill. Stuff each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture.

  3. 3

    Wrap with Bacon

    Wrap each stuffed jalapeño half with a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.

  4. 4

    Bake the Jalapeños

    Place the bacon-wrapped jalapeños on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Buttermilk Ranch

    In a small bowl, combine buttermilk, mayonnaise, and additional seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder, dill) to taste. Mix well.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the jalapeños from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with buttermilk ranch for dipping.
