Instructions
Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees F.
Slice the jalapeno peppers in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and membranes inside with a spoon. It’s best to wear gloves to do this.
Add the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder to a bowl and mix well.
Fill each jalapeno pepper half with the cheese mixture, and distribute evenly in the pepper halves.
Wrap each jalapeno with a slice of bacon. Use toothpicks to hold the bacon in place.
Transfer the peppers to the preheated smoker and smoke them for 1-2 hours, or until the peppers soften and the bacon is starting to crisp. You can place them under a broiler for a couple of minutes if you need to.
