Stuffed Jalapeño Peppers

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Jalapeños

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor. Place the halved peppers on a baking sheet.

  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. Fold in the bacon bits.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Jalapeños

    Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeño half, filling them generously.

  4. 4

    Bake

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

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and serve warm.
