- Stuff each jalapeno half with the cheesy mixture, making sure to pack it in there like you’re preparing for a food competition.

- Place your beautifully wrapped jalapenos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You may want to line them up, like they’re getting ready for a marching band performance!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the jalapenos are tender. Your kitchen will smell absolutely heavenly during this part!
