- 1 pound turkey bacon, cut in half (or beef bacon)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Place the jalapeño halves on a baking sheet, cut-side up.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until creamy.
