Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers

12 jalapeno peppers approximately 3-4 inches long
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
1 cup cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
12 slices bacon (not thick cut)

1.  Preheat the oven to 400℉. Line a sheet pan with foil and coat it with cooking spray.

2.  Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and ribs. 

3.  In a medium bowl mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, onion powder, salt and pepper. 

4.  Fill each jalapeno half with the cheese mixture.

5.  Cut the slices of bacon in half crosswise and wrap each pepper half in a slice of bacon, using a toothpick to secure the bacon.

6.  Arrange the peppers on the baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until bacon is crispy and browned. Serve immediately.
