Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapeños

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for less heat.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, bacon bits, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Jalapeños

    Using a spoon, fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, packing it in well.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Place the stuffed jalapeños on a baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over them. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your jalapeños!
