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.

- Roast the peppers before stuffing them: Roasting the peppers will help to soften them and make them easier to stuff. You can roast the peppers on a grill, in a broiler, or in a hot oven.
- Use a variety of fillings: Goat cheese is a classic filling for pepper poppers, but you can also use other cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or cream cheese. You can also add other ingredients to the filling, such as cooked bacon, ground beef, or chopped vegetables.
- Bread the pepper poppers before frying them: Breading the pepper poppers will help to keep the filling from leaking out. You can use a variety of breading mixtures, such as breadcrumbs, flour, or cornmeal.
- Fry the pepper poppers until they are golden brown: Fry the pepper poppers in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that the filling is cooked through.
