Ingredients

  • 12 medium-sized jalapeños
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 slices of bacon (cut in half)

Directions

  1. 1

    Ensure a perfect cooking environment by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise, adjusting the spice level to your liking by removing or leaving some seeds.

  3. 3

    Combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Achieve a smooth mixture.

  4. 4

    Generously fill each jalapeño half with the cream cheese mixture, then wrap each with a half slice of bacon, ensuring complete coverage.

  5. 5

    Place the bacon-wrapped jalapeños on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until the bacon is crispy, and the jalapeños are tender.

  6. 6

    For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes, keeping a watchful eye.

  7. 7

    Allow the jalapeños to cool for a few minutes before serving, letting the flavors meld for the perfect bite.
