Equipment

  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 knife
  • 1 medium size bowl
  • 1 fork
  • 1 baking sheet pan
  • 1 skillet
  • 1 oven

Ingredients
  

  • 5 strips bacon can use packaged bacon bits as a substitute
  • 6 jalapeno peppers
  • 3 ou cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 C Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • 1. In a skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon until crispy. Set aside to cool and drain grease off with a paper towel. When cool, chop into small pieces.
  • 2. Preheat the oven to 400* F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 3. Slice the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and membranes. (If you prefer spicy food add the seeds and chopped membranes into the cheese sauce.)
  • 4. In a medium-sized bowl, use a fork to combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder and bacon bits. Spoon some of the mixture into each jalapeno half and set the peppers cheese-side up on the lined baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and slightly crisp on top.
