Here’s a twist on the traditional bacon wrapped jalapeno popper,  these are stuffed with Italian sausage, pineapple cream cheese, and wrapped in prosciutto

Sweet and spicy, these creamy treats were scarfed up very quickly!

So easy to make, you can do it ahead of time and grill or bake them

Cut the top off the peppers and clean out the seeds

Brown sausage and drain

Mix the sausage with cream cheese

Stuff peppers

Wrap with a piece of prosciutto, securing with toothpicks

Refrigerate at this point if you want before grilling or baking
