Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapenos

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Carefully slice each jalapeno in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for less heat.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

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

  3. 3

    Stuff the Jalapenos

    Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each jalapeno half with the cheese mixture.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Place the stuffed jalapenos on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the jalapenos are tender and the cheese is bubbly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with ranch dressing on the side.
