Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for a milder taste.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with half a slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick if needed.
Place the bacon-wrapped jalapeños on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is bubbly.

Notes

Adjust the amount of jalapeños based on your heat preference; removing seeds can reduce spiciness.
These poppers can be made ahead of time and baked right before serving for best results.
