1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Prepare Jalapenos
Wash the jalapenos and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes to reduce heat, if desired.
3
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Once done, remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
4
Make the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, crumbled bacon, and shredded pepper jack cheese. Add garlic powder, chives, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix until well combined.

5
Stuff the Jalapenos
Using a spoon, fill each jalapeno half with the cream cheese mixture until it is heaping.
6
Arrange on Baking Sheet
Place the filled jalapenos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
7
Bake the Jalapenos
Bake the stuffed jalapenos in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the jalapenos are tender and the filling is bubbly and golden.
8
Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your jalapeno poppers hot!
