Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F and line large baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Cook diced bacon in large skillet over medium heat until crispy and golden brown.

Remove bacon with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels, reserving 2 tablespoons fat.

Season cooked bacon with brown sugar, pepper, and garlic powder while still warm.

Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, removing any lumps completely.

Mix in sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, and all seasonings until combined.

Fold in cooked bacon bits, fresh chives, and green onions for texture and flavor.

Crush Doritos in food processor to fine crumbs, leaving some larger pieces for texture.

Set up breading station with flour, beaten eggs mixed with milk and hot sauce.

Form cream cheese mixture into 24 equal portions using small ice cream scoop.

Roll each portion into oval shape and chill for 15 minutes to firm up.

Dredge each stuffed piece in flour, then egg mixture, then Doritos crumbs thoroughly.

Press Doritos coating firmly to ensure good adhesion and complete coverage.

Arrange breaded pieces on prepared baking sheets with space between each piece.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy on all sides.

Top with mixed shredded cheeses during last 3 minutes of baking until melted.

Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving to prevent burns.
