Grilled Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Peppers Recipe

I don't know about you but anything wrapped in bacon, I'll eat! Here is a recipe that is always a hit at our family cook outs. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

8 - yellow or jalapeno peppers

1 - can of crushed pineapple (drained) (or you can use fresh pineapple, just make sure it's finely chopped)

1 - 8oz package of shredded monterey jack cheese

1 - package of your favorite bacon

1 - bottle of your favorite teriyaki sauce marinade

     and bamboo skewers.

Directions:

Before anything soak bamboo skewers in water for 30mins.

Peppers:

1. In a large pot, bring water to a boil (enough to cover the peppers).
2. Cut ends of peppers off and scrape out the insides.
3. Add peppers to boiling water and let boil for 5-7 minutes, then drain and let cool until they are cool enough to handle.

Filling:

1. Combine pineapple and cheese in a bowl and mix thoroughly.

Assembly: 

1. Stuff each pepper with enough filling to reach top.
2. Wrap each pepper with 2 bacon strips. Wrap one bacon slice along the length of the pepper covering the filling and the other around the sides to secure the first.
3. Grab 2 skewers and pierce it about half an inch from the top and bottom sides of the pepper. (You can add about 4 peppers to the 2 skewers so they line up just like the picture)

Cooking:

1. Grill the peppers over medium heat coating them in the teriyaki sauce and flipping them about every 5 minutes.
2. Once the bacon is thoroughly cooked you are done!
