If you are a jalapeño popper lover like I am, you will go nuts over this lightened up version! These Lightened Up Jalapeño Poppers are so easy to make for a quick appetizer or snack, and this recipe can also be doubled, tripled, or quadrupled (or more!) if you're looking to feed a crowd!
Cut each jalapeño in half and remove the seeds and the veins. If you like more heat, leave some of the seeds in tact. Be sure to wash your hands so you don’t accidentally rub your eyes afterwards.
For the filling, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Fill each jalapeño half with 1/2 tablespoon of filling and top with a sprinkle of bacon pieces.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the jalapeños soften up, the cheese melts, and the bacon crisps up.
