Instructions
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
24 jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
24 slices bacon
Line baking sheet with foil. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, Cheddar cheese and spices. Fill each jalapeno half with the cheese mixture. Put halves back together and wrap each with a slice of bacon. Arrange peppers on the baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees until bacon is crisp – about 15 minutes. (Note: Wear gloves when cutting and cleaning the peppers.)
