Bacon Cheese Brown Sugar Pork Chops Recipes

BACON CHEESE BROWN SUGAR PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with non-stick spray or line with parchment or foil.
• In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and the garlic. In another bowl, mix the cheeses. Set the cheeses aside.
• Place pork chops in prepared pan, being careful to leave room between the chops.
• Distribute the garlic/sugar mix evenly over the top of each pork chop. Lay a slice of bacon diagonally on top of each pork chop; tuck ends of bacon under each chop.
• Bake at 400 degrees F for 35-40 minutes. Top with cheese and bake an additional 5-10 minutes to melt cheese.

BACON WRAPPED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through but still flexible. Wrap two slices of bacon around each pork chop and top with a tablespoon of cheese sauce. Place the pork chops in a baking dish.
• Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven.

MIKE'S BACON-STUFFED GRILLED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, ketchup, oil, salt, garlic, black pepper, and oregano in a large, zip-top freezer bag for the marinade.
• Lay a pork chop flat onto your work surface. Use the tip of a sharp boning or paring knife to cut a pocket in the chop through a 2-inch slit in the side. Repeat with the remaining chops. Place into the marinade and squeeze out any air. Make sure the marinade gets inside the "pockets" of the chops as well. Marinate for 8 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove chops from the marinade and let them come to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Place the brown sugar in a bowl. Dredge each slice of bacon in the brown sugar, coating both sides. Place the bacon on a wire rack and set in a cookie sheet to catch the drippings.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned, flipping the bacon halfway through cooking, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Stuff each of the chops with 2 slices of the sugar-coated cooked bacon, folding in half if needed, and 2 slices Swiss cheese. Use toothpicks to hold the pockets closed after stuffing.
• Sear the chops on the preheated grill, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Move to a cooler spot on the grill and finish with indirect grilling until chops are no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 5 minutes more. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Remove toothpicks and serve.
