Source of Recipe


Adapted from www.cooks.com






List of Ingredients



• 8 large jalapeños
  
• 1 pkg. (8 ounces) cream cheese (regular or reduced-fat)
  
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  
• Dash of garlic powder
  
• Dash of salt
  
• 8 slices hickory-smoked bacon
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 450º F.
   
   
2. Split the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs.
   
   
3. In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, garlic powder and salt. Stuff the pepper halves generously with the cheese mixture.
   
   
4. Cut the bacon slices in half so you have 16 pieces. Wrap a bacon slice around each pepper half or place it on top.
   
   
5. Place the peppers on a sided baking sheet and bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the cheese is bubbly. Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving.
