Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking pan with foil and place a baking/cooling rack on top. This will keep the peppers from getting soggy and the foil underneath will catch any juices or cheese from falling.

Cut peppers in half and remove seeds and membranes very carefully. Use a utensil to help out or wear gloves. the seeds WILL burn your fingers.

In a medium-sized bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add all of the cheese and spices and mix until smooth and all ingredients are evenly distributed. Spoon mixture into each pepper level with the top and wrap with a half of a piece of bacon. Secure with a toothpick if needed and place on prepared rack.

Bake peppers for 25-30 minutes or until slightly browned on top and bacon is crispy. If needed, turn oven to broil for a few minutes, watching very carefully, to crisp things up a bit.
