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:

• Slice the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and core out the innards.

• Add the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and spices to the mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
• Fill each jalapeno slice with the spiced cheese mixture.
• Heat a grill to medium heat and grill the jalapeno poppers for 10-15 minutes, or until the poppers are done to your liking.
• Remove from heat, garnish with extra crumbled bacon, red pepper flakes and fresh chopped cilantro, and serve.

Steps:

• Cut peppers in half.
• Use a spoon to remove the seeds and white membranes.
• Fill each half with the cheese.
• Cut the bacon slices in half so that you have 24 shorter slices.
• Wrap each cheese stuffed jalapeño with a bacon slice; secure with toothpicks if you need to or slide them on skewers.
• Grill over hot coals until the bacon is crispy and browned, turning every few minutes (stay with them and watch for flare ups from the dripping bacon fat or they will burn); grill for about 15 or 20 minutes.
• The bacon should be crisp, the jalapeño crisp tender and the cheese should be hot.

Steps:

• CAUTION: Jalapenos can be very hot. Use caution and wear rubber gloves if you have skin sensitivity. Keep hands away from face and eyes. Wash hands thoroughly with warm water and soap when finished handling peppers.
• Slice peppers from stem to tip on 1 side. Carefully squeeze ends of pepper (like a change purse) and scoop out seeds and veins with a small spoon. Stuff each pepper with shredded cheese. Cut bacon slices in half. Wrap each pepper with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
• Preheat grill. Grill peppers 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until bacon is cooked, but not crisp.
• Remove from grill and serve while hot.
