Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Slice each jalapeno in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes using a small spoon. Wear gloves to protect your hands.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Fold in the cooked bacon crumbles, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cheese mixture.
Fill each jalapeno half generously with the cheese mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
In a small bowl, toss the panko breadcrumbs with olive oil until lightly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the cheese-stuffed jalapenos.
Arrange the stuffed jalapenos on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the jalapenos are tender and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Remove the jalapenos from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy these Yummy Stuffed Jalapenos as a savory appetizer or snack!
