### How to Make Jalapeño Popper Deviled Eggs
1. **Prepare the eggs:** Hard-boil, peel, and halve the eggs. Remove the yolks and set aside.
2. **Make the filling:** Mash the yolks with cream cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, shredded cheddar, and chopped jalapeños. Add bacon bits if you like. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
3. **Fill the egg whites:** Spoon or pipe the cheesy, spicy filling back into the egg white halves.
4. **Garnish:** Top with extra jalapeño slices, a sprinkle of cheddar, or crumbled bacon for a beautiful finish.
5. **Chill and serve:** Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
