Tips:

Use thin-sliced bacon in this recipe, as thick-sliced bacon doesn't wrap around so well.
Be careful when cutting and scraping the jalapeno peppers not to rub your eyes with your hands that have pepper juices on them. I have done this, and it burns! Wash hands immediately after cutting or handling them.

Ingredients

10 jalapeno peppers approximately 3 inches long
6 ounces block-style full fat cream cheese softened
½ cup grated jack cheese
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
10 slices bacon thin sliced (don’t use thick sliced)
½ tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400℉ (200℃) and line a sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper and brush it with the avocado oil or spray with cooking spray oil.
Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and ribs.
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, jack cheese, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Fill each jalapeno half with the cream cheese mixture.
Cut the slices of bacon in half crosswise, and wrap each jalapeno pepper half with a slice of bacon. Press bacon ends down into the cream cheese lightly to secure or secure with a toothpick if needed.
Place the peppers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crisp and browned. Serve.
