Steps

1Preheat oven to 300º F.
2In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the pimento cheese. Set aside.
3Cut all jalapenos in half lengthwise. Using a knife or a small spoon, remove the seeds and the white membrane from the insides of the jalapenos.
4Fill the inside of each jalapeno half with pimento cheese. Wrap each pimento cheese stuffed jalapeno with a piece of bacon. Secure with a toothpick, if needed.
5Brush bacon with peach bbq sauce and then bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked.
6Remove from the oven and allow to stand at least five minutes to cool.
