Step 1

Preheat grill to medium high or preheat your oven to 425 degree F.

Step 2

Cut the stem off each jalapeno. Then cut in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon, melon baller or grapefruit spoon scrape out the seeds and membranes of jalapenos. I recommend wearing gloves while doing this.

Step 3

Combine cream cheese, green onion, garlic powder and cheddar cheese in small mixing bowl. Stuff into the jalapeno halves.

Step 4

Take a pieces of bacon and wrap around each jalapeno half, securring them with toothpicks.

Step 5

Refrigerate jalapenos poppers for at least a hour. This helps prevent the cheese from melting out when you are grilling or baking them.

Step 6

Grease grates of grill. Place jalapenos on grill cut side down and grill just until bacon begins to crisp. This should take about 6 minutes. Gently loosen bacon from the grill and flip jalapenos over. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook an additional 10-12 minutes or until bacon is cooked and cheese is melted.

Step 7

Place jalapeno poppers cut side up on a baking sheet lined with foil and sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes or until cheese is bubbling and bacon is crisp.
