Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapenos

    Wash the jalapeno peppers under cold water. Slice each pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and white membranes using a small spoon or knife.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Filling

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and bacon bits. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and creamy. If desired, add salt to taste.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Jalapenos

    Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each jalapeno half with the cheese mixture, pressing down slightly to pack it in.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the stuffed jalapenos on the sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh parsley if using.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the jalapenos are tender and the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your cheddar jalapenos warm!
