BACON-WRAPPED JALAPEÑOS RECIPE FOR TODAY

BACON-WRAPPED JALAPEÑOS

INGREDIENTS:
20 whole, fresh jalapeños
2- 8-oz blocks of cream cheese, softened at room temperature
1 to 2 pounds of bacon
1 can of Crushed Pineapple ( drained )

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and set aside.
2. Mix the Cream Cheese with about half the can of pineapple. ( more or less to your liking)
3. Cut the tops of jalapeños off. Remove the seeds and membranes. Stuff each jalapeño with cream cheese/pineapple mixture. Wrap each jalapeño with 1 slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 35 minutes. If after 20 minutes the bacon doesn't look brown enough, turn on the broiler for a couple of minutes to finish. Just keep a close eye so they don't burn! Serve immediately or at room temperature.
