Slice the peppers from just below the cap down to the tip and remove the seeds.
In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar-jack and bacon if using. Stuff the peppers and place them on a baking pan. Place the peppers in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the peppers are slightly charred. Remove from the oven and serve.
