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 extra flavor, consider adding chopped herbs like cilantro or chives to the cheese mixture.
Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
