Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Cut the jalapenos in half lengthwise and use a spoon to remove the seeds and membranes. Set the jalapeno halves aside.
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.
Using a small spoon, fill each jalapeno half with the cream cheese mixture, slightly mounding it on top.
Wrap each cheese-stuffed jalapeno half with one slice of bacon, starting at one end and spiraling around to completely cover the filling. Secure the bacon with a toothpick if necessary.
Arrange the wrapped jalapenos on the prepared baking sheet with the cheese side facing up.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the jalapenos are tender.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
