Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers

• 1/2 cup cream cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• 12 jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise, seeds and membranes removed
• 12 slices bacon

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.


2. Mix cream cheese and Cheddar cheese together in a bowl until evenly blended. Fill each jalapeño half with cheese mixture. Put halves back together and wrap each stuffed pepper with a slice of bacon. Arrange bacon-wrapped peppers on the prepared baking sheet.


3. Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crispy, 25 to 35 minutes.
