Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Cut the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for less heat.

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Using a spoon, fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, packing it in gently.

Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if necessary. Place the wrapped jalapeños on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is bubbly.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
