• jalapenos↗15
• cream cheese↗16 ounces
• shredded cheddar cheese↗2 cups
• bacon↗30 slices
• dash salt, pepper and garlic powder↗1
• toothpick

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 450.

2. 2

   Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. (If you like them hot, leave some of the seeds in).

3. 3

   In a medium bowl combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, salt, pepper and garlic powder.

4. 4

   Stuff the pepper halves with the cheese mixture.

5. 5

   Wrap each pepper with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Try to cover the whole top of the pepper so the cheese doesn't ooze out while it's cooking.

6. 6

   Place the wrapped peppers on a cookie sheet and cook for 15 - 20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and cheese is bubbly. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
