Here's a game day appetizer with a kick and we're not talking about field goals. No, these Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Jalapenos deliver a creamy, crunchy, spicy and flavorful punch with every bite.

Stuffed jalapenos wrapped with bacon are always a favorite and this one has the bonus of being made on a Pit Boss Pellet Grill which of course will give them the added flavor of wood fire.
