  1. Heat the oven

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with foil and coat it with cooking spray.

  2. Prep the peppers

    Halve the jalapeños lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and ribs with a spoon.

  3. Mix the filling

    In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, cheddar, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

  4. Fill

    Spoon the cheese mixture into each jalapeño half.

  5. Wrap in bacon

    Cut the bacon slices in half crosswise. Wrap a piece around each pepper half and hold it in place with a toothpick.

  6. Bake

    Arrange on the sheet pan and bake 20–25 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and browned. Serve right away.
