Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers
Whole Jalapenos Peppers
1 can Pineapple chunks
1 bag cubes cheddar cheese
1 package creamed cheese (blocked)
1 package beacon
tooth picks

Clean and cut off stems and remove all seed and inner lining of the pepper.
(Soak them over night or longer if you want to get some of the hotness out of them)
Stuff with pineapple chunk, cheddar cheese and top with cream cheese, wrap beacon around the top and side of the pepper (about ½ slice of beacon per pepper) stick a tooth pick through the beacon all the way through the pepper.

Preheat and bake in oven at 375* for about 20 minutes or until beacon is crisp. You can also grill them but they tend to burn.

My advice is to order a pepper stand off the internet because it is much easier to cook and it taste better than having them cook on their sides because sometimes the sides will burn.
