Believe me, bacon is the game-changer in this recipe.

Bacon-wrapped pineapple is a delightful treat that brings together the savory crispiness of bacon with the juicy sweetness of pineapple. This dish is perfect for gatherings or a cozy family dinner. The combination of flavors is a nod to the classic Hawaiian pizza, but with a fun twist that makes it a hit with kids and adults alike. It's a great way to introduce a bit of tropical flair to your Midwestern table, and it's sure to be a conversation starter at any potluck or family gathering.
This bacon-wrapped pineapple pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad or a side of roasted vegetables. For a heartier meal, consider serving it alongside some fluffy jasmine rice or a creamy potato salad. If you're hosting a party, these make wonderful appetizers that go well with a tangy barbecue sauce or a spicy sriracha mayo for dipping. A refreshing glass of iced tea or a fruity punch would complement the flavors nicely.
