Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Mix together the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Cheddar cheese in a bowl until the mixture is thoroughly blended.
• Lay a jalapeno pepper onto a work surface, and cut a lengthwise sliver from the side of the pepper, exposing the seeds and white membrane. With the handle of a teaspoon, scrape out the seeds and membrane, leaving the hollow pepper. Repeat for the rest of the peppers. Chop up the pepper slices, and mix into the cheese stuffing. Stuff each pepper with cheese mixture, and wrap each stuffed pepper in a half bacon slice. Secure with toothpicks.
• Grill the poppers on a less-hot part of the grill until the peppers are hot and juicy and the bacon is browned, 30 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high and grease grates well. Combine olive oil with garlic, lime zest, salt and pepper; brush over cut sides of jalapenos.

• Place on grill and cook covered, turning occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes or until bacon is lightly crisped.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook covered for 5 minutes, or until the cheese starts to melt and the jalapeno is tender. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease, then serve.

• Cut the tops off of the peppers and slice them in half from top to bottom. Use a spoon to scrape the seeds out of the middle.
• Transfer the cheese mixture into a zip top bag and snip off a bottom corner of the bag with scissors. Use this as a piping bag to easily pipe the cream cheese filling into each of the pepper boats.
• Cut the bacon slices in 1/2. Wrap each 1/2 slice of bacon around a stuffed jalapeño half.
• Sprinkle BBQ rub all over the tops of the jalapeño poppers.
