Ingredients

1/2 cup cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup cheddar
12 jalapenos
6 slices bacon cut in half

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, garlic powder, and shredded cheddar. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
Slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and membranes (tip: wear gloves if you're sensitive to heat).
Fill each jalapeño half with the cream cheese mixture, smoothing the top with a spoon or butter knife. Gently press the halves back together.
Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with a half slice of bacon. If needed, secure with a toothpick to keep everything in place.
Place on your prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the bacon is fully cooked and starting to crisp. For extra crispy bacon, you can broil for 1–2 minutes at the end (just watch closely!).
Let the poppers rest for 5 minutes before serving. They’ll be hot, cheesy, and totally irresistible.
