Bacon-Wrapped Cheesy Stuffed Peppers
To grow a pepper, fill a planting tray with soil and then plant your pepper seed. Peppers grow best in daytime air temperature 65F to 80F. Most of the time it takes 60-90 day to fully grow a pepper, some hot peppers take up to 150 days. When planting a pepper seed they should be 12-18 inches apart. Most people roast peppers, and they can be used for sandwiches, quesadillas ,soups, and sauces .

Recipe
-8 ounces full-fat cream cheese,at room temperature
-12 large jalapeno peppers
-6 ounces sharp yellow cheddar cheese,shredded (about 1 ½ cups)
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 12 slices center-cut bacon (about 1 pound ,not thick-cut
Instructions
1.Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (best for clean-up) or a silicone baking mat. Place a baking rack on top of the baking sheet. Set aside.
2.Cut the jalapeño peppers in half lengthwise; remove seeds and center membrane. Set aside.
3.Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic, and paprika together until combined. You could also do this by hand using a rubber spatula. Salt to taste – I add just a pinch. Spoon filling equally among all 24 jalapeño halves.
4.Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with a half slice of bacon and stick a toothpick through the center to assure the bacon stays in place. Place each on the baking rack and bake for 25-28 minutes or until the bacon is crisp to your liking. I like to turn the oven to broil for the last minute or two to get things extra crispy. Serve immediately. Cover leftovers and keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
