Creating Bacon Jalapeño Popper Cheese Balls is a simple process if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, diced jalapeños, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the Balls: Using your hands, scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
3. Chill the Balls: Place the cheese balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes to help them firm up.
4. Set Up Breading Station: Prepare three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
5. Bread the Cheese Balls: Dip each chilled cheese ball first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat them in breadcrumbs. Make sure they are evenly coated.
6. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. You’ll want enough oil to submerge the cheese balls halfway.
7. Fry the Cheese Balls: Once the oil is hot, carefully place a few cheese balls in the oil. Fry them until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd the pan.
8. Drain: Using a slotted spoon, remove the cheese balls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
9. Repeat: Continue frying the remaining cheese balls in batches until all are cooked.
10. Cool Slightly: Allow the cheese balls to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
