2 boxes (8 ounces) cream cheese slightly softened
2 tablespoons sour cream
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (reserve ½ cup)
10 slices crispy cooked bacon chopped (reserve half)
2 jalapenos minced (reserve half)
½ cup chopped green onions (reserve half)

Using a stand or hand mixer on medium speed beat your cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder,
onion powder and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Turn to low and mix in 1 1/2 cups of cheddar
cheese, half of the chopped bacon, half of the minced jalapeno, and half of the chopped green onions.
Combine your reserved cheddar, bacon, jalapenos and green onions in a small zipper storage bag and
store in the refrigerator.

NOTES
ROASTING YOUR BUTTERNUT SQUASH: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Cut your butternut
squash in half, scrape out the seeds and discard. Place them cut-side-up on a lined baking
sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated
oven until squash is fork- tender and lightly browned, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool, scoop out the
pulp, and then mash it up for your recipe!
TIP: If you roast your butternut squash ahead of time, you can refrigerate it until ready to use.
Bring it to room temperature again before using in this recipe.
