Cut each jalapeno in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds.
In a small bowl stir together cream cheese, shredded cheese, and garlic powder.
Fill each jalapeno half with cream cheese mixture and wrap with bacon. Secure with a toothpick.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until bacon is crispy and peppers are tender.
Notes
On the grill: Assemble jalapeno poppers and place cut side down on a medium-low grill with or without a foil sheet, and grill for about 6 minutes per side, or until bacon is cooked and cheese is melted.
In the air fryer: Assemble jalapeno poppers and place in a single layer in an air fryer preheated to 400°F. Cook until the cheese is browned & bacon is crispy about 10-15 minutes.
Make ahead: Assemble poppers and store in the refrigerator up to a day ahead, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat in air fryer or oven.
