Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot enough to bake the poppers.

Prepare the Jalapeños
Using a sharp knife, cut the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the seeds and membranes for less heat (or leave some for extra spice) using a spoon.

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

Stuff the Jalapeños
Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, ensuring they're generously packed.

Wrap with Bacon
Cut each bacon slice in half. Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with a half slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick if necessary.
Baking

Arrange on Baking Sheet
Place the wrapped jalapeño poppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Cool and Serve
Remove the poppers from the oven, allow them to cool slightly before serving. They can be garnished with chopped chives and served with sour cream on the side.
