Ingredients

  • 10 jalapeño peppers, halved and seeded
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 20 slices of bacon, cut in half
  • Toothpicks, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until smooth.
  3. Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeño half.
  4. Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick if necessary.

  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the peppers are tender.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding chopped chives or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to the cheese filling. These can also be made in an air fryer at 375°F for 15 minutes.
