Par-bake the bacon

Heat oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and add slices of bacon in  an even single layer. Bake until some of the fat has rendered and it’s pliable, about 8 min. Set aside and keep the oven on.

Blend cream cheese mixture

In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment or mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Blend or stir until combined.

2

Prep the jalapeños

Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds with a paring knife or spoon and discard.

3

Fill poppers

Spoon the cream cheese filling into the scooped out jalapeños and wrap one slice of bacon around each jalapeño. Use a toothpick to secure the bacon.

4

Add to baking sheet

Arrange poppers in an even single layer on a baking sheet with a wire cooling rack set over top.

5

Bake jalapeño poppers

Bake until the bacon is crispy, about 25 minutes.
