Mix the Cheese Filling. Add the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese and spices to the mixing bowl. Mix until well combined. It should be nice and creamy. Fill the Poppers. Fill each jalapeno slice with the spiced cream cheese mixture. I just spoon it into the jalapeno half to a smooth edge. The amount needed will vary based on the size of your jalapeno peppers. If you have extra left over, fill more jalapenos! Or, save it for another use. For Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers. Wrap the stuffed jalapenos with a slice of bacon, like so. Grill the bacon wrapped poppers a bit longer, 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon cooks through. Garnish and Serve. Remove from heat and cool them just a bit. Garnish with extra crumbled bacon, red pepper flakes and fresh chopped cilantro, and serve them up. Boom! Done! Your grilled jalapeno poppers are ready to serve. Are you serving them up at a party?
