Jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese, wrapped in bacon, baked until crispy. These low carb poppers disappear first at every party for a reason.
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise and use a small spoon to carefully scoop out all seeds and membranes.
In a bowl, mix cream cheese with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly into each jalapeño half, smoothing the surface for even cooking.
Wrap each stuffed jalapeño half tightly with a slice of bacon, ensuring the seam is placed underneath, and arrange seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the cheese filling is bubbling; if desired, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for extra crispness, watching carefully to prevent burning.
