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.

GRILLED JALAPENO POPPERS
These are delicious as appetizers or include them on your beef or chicken kabobs. The smokiness of the bacon and the smokiness of your grill's charcoal is a wonderful combination. The cheese chills out the heat of the jalapeños leaving them just slightly hot. Dip them in Ranch dressing to chill the heat even more. Cream cheese is a perfect substitute for neufchatel cheese.

Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Look for firm, unblemished peppers with a deep green color. Avoid peppers that are bruised, wrinkled, or have soft spots.
- Prepare the peppers properly: Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers thoroughly and pat them dry.
- Use a variety of fillings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to filling jalapeño poppers. Some popular options include cream cheese, cheddar cheese, bacon, sausage, shrimp, and crab. Get creative and experiment with different flavors and textures.
- Don't overcook the poppers: Jalapeño poppers are best when they are cooked until the filling is hot and melted, but the peppers are still slightly crisp. Overcooking will make the peppers mushy and the filling dry.
- Serve the poppers immediately: Jalapeño poppers are best enjoyed hot out of the oven or grill. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or sour cream.
Conclusion:
Jalapeño poppers are a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a little creativity, you can create your own unique jalapeño poppers that will be the hit of your next party or gathering.
