Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.
2. Using a paring knife, cut off the stem ends of the jalapenos and scoop out the seeds and membranes.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, paprika and salt until well combined.
4. Fill each jalapeno half with the cheese mixture and wrap with a slice of bacon. Secure with toothpicks.
5. Place the jalapeno poppers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

These bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers are perfect for parties or game day snacks! They are easy to make and taste amazing. The combination of spicy jalapenos, creamy cheese, and crispy bacon is irresistible.

Tips

• If you can’t handle the heat, you can remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapenos before filling them.
• Make sure to use toothpicks to keep the bacon from unraveling during baking.
• For extra crispy bacon, you can cook it halfway before wrapping the jalapenos.
