Directions
- While the cream cheese is softening, light a half-filled chimney starter in the base of your Sportsman’s Pro Grill. Heat until charcoal edges begin to turn gray, about 10 minutes.
- Slice jalapeños in half lengthwise and core with a spoon.
- Mix cream cheese with pineapple and green onions.
- Spoon cream cheese into jalapeño halves, wrap with bacon, and secure with a toothpick.
- Add charcoal to the grill, place cooking grate on top, and preheat for about 5 minutes with the draft door closed.
- In two batches, grill the jalapeños—turning often—for about 10-15 minutes. Watch for flare-ups.
- Once the bacon is cooked through, remove from the heat, garnish with green onion, and serve.
Pro Tip: Wear gloves when dealing with hot peppers.
