Equipment

  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Wire rack

Ingredients

  • 12 fresh jalapeños
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 12 slices bacon cut in half

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
