• In a medium-sized bowl, combine cream cheese, garlic powder, minced green onions and Mountain Dew ® .
• Stuff the peppers with the prepared mixture, and wrap in bacon strips, using toothpicks to attach them securely.

• Grill or bake the peppers until the bacon is crispy, then set aside. Remove the toothpicks and serve alongside the dip.
