Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice 12 large jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes using a small spoon, leaving the stems intact.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, mix 8 oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder until well combined and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Spoon the cheese mixture evenly into each jalapeño half, filling them generously.
  4. Step 4: Wrap each stuffed jalapeño half with one slice of bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed.
  5. Step 5: Place wrapped jalapeños on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bacon is crispy and cheese is bubbly.
  6. Step 6: Let cool for 5 minutes before serving to avoid burns.
