- Spoon the cheese and bacon mixture into each jalapeno half, filling them generously. Place the filled jalapeno halves on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the jalapeno poppers in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Once baked, remove the jalapeno poppers from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them warm as an appetizer or snack.
