Ingredients

12 jalapeno peppers approximately 3 inches long
8 ounces cream cheese softened
½ cup finely shredded cheddar
½ cup finely shredded Monterey Jack
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
12 slices bacon cut in half

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise. Using a spoon or melon baller, remove the veins and seeds. Place on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Using a mixer, blend the cream cheese, cheddar, Monterey Jack, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Spoon into the pepper, going a little more than level with the sides. Wrap each stuffed pepper with bacon. Wrap the bacon so the seam is on the bottom and place it on a baking sheet.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until bacon is browned. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

When freezing, stuff them with cheese and wrap with bacon. Then line them on cookie sheets covered with wax paper. Make sure they are not touching, or they will all freeze together. Place in the freezer until frozen.
Once frozen, store in a Ziploc freezer bag with as much air removed as possible. When ready to cook, place them on parchment or aluminum-covered baking sheets. Let them thaw while the oven preheats.
Pop it in the oven and cook according to the directions. They may require an additional one to two minutes of baking time.
