Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for less heat.
In a bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture.
Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with half a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.
Arrange the wrapped jalapeños on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is bubbling.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding diced green onions or crumbled sausage to the cheese mixture.
These poppers can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge before baking for a quick snack later.
Adjust the amount of bacon according to your preference for added crispiness.
