Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapeños

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for less heat, or leave them if you prefer more spice.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Jalapeños

    Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeño half, filling them generously.

  4. 4

    Wrap with Bacon

    Take a slice of bacon and wrap it around each stuffed jalapeño. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Place the wrapped jalapeños on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    If desired, sprinkle chopped chives on top before serving. Enjoy your Jalapeño Bacon hot!
