Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 large jalapeno peppers
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp fine salt
  • 12 slices bacon, halved crosswise

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Halve jalapenos lengthwise and scrape out seeds and ribs.
  2. Mix cream cheese, cheddar, garlic powder, and salt until smooth.
  3. Spoon filling into each jalapeno half, level with the edges.
  4. Wrap each with a half-slice of bacon, placing seam side down on a lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until bacon is crisp and cheese is bubbly. Cool 2 minutes and serve hot.

Notes

If your bacon is on the thicker side, the bake time might push closer to 25 minutes; broil for a final minute if you want extra crackle. The peppers are spiciest right out of the oven, so they mellow a little as they cool.
