Step 1
Cook the bacon in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain the bacon on paper towels. Pour off all but 1 teaspoon drippings from the skillet.
Step 2
Add the jalapeño peppers to the drippings in the skillet and cook for 5 minutes or until tender-crisp. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes or until garlic is fragrant and the peppers are softened. Stir in the sauce and cream cheese and cook until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is hot, stirring occasionally. Top with the cooked bacon and the green onion and serve with your favorite chip or vegetable dippers.
