Ingredients

  • 12 fresh jalapeno peppers about 2-3 inches in length
  • 8 oz block cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 12 slices bacon

  2. 2. In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Fill each jalapeno with the cheese mixture.
  3. 3. Cut the slices of bacon in half crosswise and wrap each pepper half in a slice of bacon. Use a toothpick to secure the bacon (see Note).
  4. 4. Arrange the peppers on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy. Serve immediately.
