- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 1/4 pound bacon
- 2 tbsp green onion tops sliced
Instructions
- Slice bacon into 1 inch pieces
- Heat small (8-9 inches) skillet over medium heat. We like to use our cast iron skillet so be sure that your skillet is oven/broiler capable.
- Cook the bacon pieces until crisp, about 5-10 minutes. Remove bacon from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain grease.
- Remove bacon grease from the skillet leaving about 1-2 Tablespoons in the skillet.
- Add the garlic to the hot pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock, cream cheese, red pepper flakes and the black pepper to the skillet and bring to a boil.
- Remove the skillet from heat.
- In a bowl, mix together the Monterey jack cheese and corn starch. Coat the cheese evenly. Add the cheese to the skillet and stir until the cheese is smooth and creamy.
- Place skillet into the broiler and broil until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Garnish with the cooked bacon and fresh sliced green onions.
