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 added flavor, consider adding chopped herbs like chives or cilantro to the cheese mixture.
Adjust the amount of jalapeño seeds left in the peppers for desired heat level.
These poppers can be made ahead of time and then baked before serving.
