1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Prepare the Jalapenos
Cut the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for a milder taste, or leave some for extra heat.
3
Cook the Bacon
Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cool, crumble into small pieces.
4
Make the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

5
Fill the Jalapenos
Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeno half, filling them generously.
6
Arrange on Baking Sheet
Place the filled jalapenos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

7
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the jalapenos are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

8
Serve with Hot Pepper Jelly
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Drizzle hot pepper jelly over the top of each jalapeno popper before serving.
