- 12 large jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise, seeds and membranes removed
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese or pepperjack cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 12 slices bacon, cut in half
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil and set a wire rack on top. Spray the wire rack with cooking spray.
Slice jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and rib by scraping the sides with a spoon.
In a medium bowl mix the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper until combined. Use a butter knife to spread some of the cream cheese mixture into each jalapeno half. Do not overfill.
Wrap each cream cheese filled jalapeno pepper with half a slice of bacon, securing bacon with a toothpick, if necessary. Arrange the wrapped jalapeno poppers on the wire rack.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until bacon is crispy and browned. Serve immediately with ranch dressing for dipping.
