Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Jalapeños
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes using a small spoon or knife. This will help reduce the heat level of the poppers.

Make the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and smooth.
