Steps

1

Gather all ingredients. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

2

Mix cream cheese, Cheddar, Parmesan, and garlic powder together in a bowl until the mixture is thoroughly blended.

3

Lay jalapeño pepper on a work surface and cut a lengthwise sliver from the side of the pepper, exposing seeds and white membrane. With the handle of a teaspoon, scrape out seeds and membrane, leaving the hollow pepper. Repeat for the rest of the peppers.

4

Chop up pepper slivers and mix into cheese stuffing. Stuff each pepper with cheese mixture and wrap each stuffed pepper in a half bacon slice. Secure with toothpicks.

5

Grill stuffed jalapeños on a less-hot part of the grill, turning as needed, until peppers are tender and juicy and bacon is browned and crisp, 30 to 40 minutes.
