Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Use kitchen gloves to protect your hands. First, halve each jalapeño lengthwise. Use a small spoon to to scrape out the seeds and membranes. If you like your jalapeño poppers spicy, you can skip this part, or leave a few seeds in. For little or no heat, it's important to get all of this out. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and face cut side up.

Step 2

In a medium bowl beat the cream cheese until creamy. Add the garlic, green onion, salt, pepper and onion powder; beat again. Stir in 1 ½ cup cheese and 4 slices crumbled bacon, reserving 2 slices of cooked bacon to sprinkle on top.

Step 3

Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly between the jalapeños. First spoon it on each one, then once it's divided go back and spread in with a small knife or back of a spoon. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and bacon on top.

Step 4

Bake for 20-23 minutes, or until bubbly. If desired, finish off with broiling for 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately.
