Ingredients

6 whole jalapeno peppers

6 oz cream cheese the block, not the spreadable

1 green onion finely minced

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese shredded

12 slices bacon

Directions

Cut the stem off each jalapeno and cut in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon, scrape out seeds & membranes.

In a small bowl combine cream cheese, green onion, garlic powder and cheddar cheese. Stuff into the jalapeno halves.

Wrap each jalapeno completely with bacon ensuring the cheese is covered. Secure with toothpicks.

TO GRILL:

Place jalapenos on grill cut side down and grill just until bacon begins to crisp (about 6 minutes). Gently loosen bacon from the grill and flip jalapenos over. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook an additional 10-12 minutes or until bacon is cooked and cheese is melted.

TO BAKE:

Preheat to 425 degrees, place on a parchment lined pan and bake about 18-23 minutes or until bacon is crisp and cheese is melted.
