  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder Replace with finely diced fresh onion if you prefer.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Bacon Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Rinse the fresh jalapeño peppers, slice them in half lengthwise, and remove seeds to customize heat level.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until creamy.
  4. Fill each jalapeño half with the creamy cheese mixture, ensuring it's even and slightly mounded above.
  5. Wrap a slice of bacon around each filled jalapeño half, securing with toothpicks if needed.
  6. Bake the wrapped jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet for 20-25 minutes until bacon is golden-brown and cheese bubbles.
  7. Allow the poppers to cool for about 5 minutes before serving on a platter.
