Notes
- If you want to spice up the recipe, consider adding some additional diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cream cheese mixture.
- If you're short on time, you can prepare the Monterey Pepperjack Dip mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble and bake the mini peppers.
- Feel free to play around with the type of peppers you use in this recipe, depending on your personal preference - you could try using banana peppers, poblano peppers, or even jalapeños instead of mini sweet peppers.
- If you want a little spicier flavor, you could substitute Southwest Jalapeno dip mix.
- Finally, this recipe can be easily adapted for those with dietary requirements - you could try using a vegan cream cheese or a low-fat cream cheese to lighten things up a bit, or even use different types of cheese or cheese substitutes as needed.
