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.

- 2. Set up grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat. When ready to start cooking, brush grate with oil. Place peppers on hot oiled grill and cook for 6 to 10 minutes or until heated through, turning halfway through cooking. Remove from grill. Serve hot.

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 large, firm peppers with smooth skin. Avoid any that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Wear gloves when handling peppers: The capsaicin in peppers can irritate your skin, so it's best to wear gloves when you're cutting, seeding, and stuffing them.
- Remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers: This will help to reduce the heat of the peppers and make them easier to eat.
- Use a variety of fillings: You can use anything from cheese to meat to vegetables to stuff your peppers. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
- Don't overcook the peppers: Peppers only need to be cooked until they are tender. Overcooking them will make them tough and chewy.
- Serve grilled jalapeño poppers immediately: These are best enjoyed hot off the grill. You can also make them ahead of time and reheat them in the oven or microwave.
Conclusion:
Grilled jalapeño poppers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. They are sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a tasty snack, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
