Cook the bacon on the stovetop or using my Oven Bacon recipe. Set aside to cool, then crumble finely.

Wash and dry the cucumbers. Cut them in half lengthwise.

Use a small spoon to scoop out the seeds, then pat the insides dry with a paper towel.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Mix well using a hand mixer or spoon.

Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly among the cucumbers.

Sprinkle with crumbled bacon and minced chives.
