Bacon Wrapped Pork Chops With Seasoned Butter Recipes

BACON WRAPPED PORK CHOPS IN ZESTY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Wrap each pork chop in 2 bacon slices to completely cover the pork chop, and secure with toothpicks. Place the wrapped chops onto a broiler pan, and broil until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
• Mix together the chili sauce, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard in a bowl. Place the browned pork chops into the bottom of a slow cooker, and pour the chili sauce mixture over the chops. Spread pineapple chunks over the chops, set the cooker to Low, and cook until very tender, about 6 hours.

BACON WRAPPED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme.
• Arrange pork chops in a single layer on a plate or platter. Rub herb mixture into all sides. Let stand at room temperature to allow flavors to penetrate meat (short dry brine).
• Preheat oven to 400˚F
• Arrange bacon slices, leaving space around each, on an oven-safe rack placed inside a foil lined baking sheet (for easy cleanup). Bake 10 to 12 minutes depending on the thickness of your bacon (12 to 14 minutes if you prefer very crispy bacon). It should still be pliable when you remove it from the oven; set aside on paper towels to cool slightly. (You'll use the same baking sheet and rack to cook pork chops. No need to replace foil.)
• Wrap each pork chop with 2 slices of partially cooked bacon and place on rack in baking sheet. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until an instant read thermometer reads 145˚F. Serve.

KILLER FRIED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops; season with onion and garlic powder. Cook until pork chops are no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side.
• Transfer pork chops to a plate; top each one with 2 slices of Cheddar cheese. Place a bowl over the plate to trap in heat.
• Place bacon into the skillet; cook until crisp and no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Wrap 3 slices of bacon around each pork chop.

MAPLE BACON WRAPPED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• For best results and bacon that is crispy, microwave the bacon strips for about 1-2 minutes on a paper towel lined plate. You want to give the bacon a head start if you want it extra crispy. **In my 1000 watt microwave it takes 7 minutes for a nice and crispy piece of bacon.
• Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, ground mustard and garlic. Wrap two pieces of bacon tightly around each pork chop. Try to allow the ends of the bacon to end up on the underside of each pork chop if possible. If not, give it an extra press to keep it in place.
• Place pork chops in a baking dish sprayed with oil. Brush the maple along each of the pork chops to cover evenly. Turn the pork chops over to get both sides. Re-set the pork chops evenly and place in the oven.
• Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F. (145°F - 160°F is ideal for pork.)Flip halfway through if desired, but I don't do this to allow the top bacon to get really crispy.
• Broil for 2-3 minutes to allow for extra crispiness and then allow to sit for about 5 minutes before serving.

BACON WRAPPED, PORK LOIN CHOPS

Steps:

• 1. Trim the fat and silver skin from the pork loin, then cut it into 8 equal pieces. Each chop should be 1 1/4" - 1 1/2" thick. If your pork loin isn't large enough, you may get only 6 pieces out of it. The thick chops, will end up more tender and moist after they've been cooked on the grill.
• 2. Mix up the ingredients for the marinade. Then, place the pork chops, and the marinade into a plastic bag. Set this in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours, but you could leave it as long as 48 hours without harming the chops.
• 3. Cut the butcher's twine into lengths that will go around each chop, with a bunch additional length. Make sure you cut a couple of extra strings, because you might drop one or two on the floor like I usually do.
• 4. Wrap the bacon around each chop, then tie with the twine.
• 5. Set them on a platter, drizzle with the oil, put a heavy dusting of blacken and a little Kosher Salt on each chop, and rub it in well. Turn them over, and do the other side.
• Ron' Note:.
• If you notice that the seasoning isn't pasty after you've applied it to the chops, just add a little more oil.
• 6. Cook over a fairly low fire, on the grill. Mine was on for about 50 minutes this time. Cook to an internal temperature of 140 - 145 degrees, with an instant read meat thermometer. When each is done, place on a platter and cover with aluminum foil to rest. I found that I took 4 off the first go-round, then gave it another five minutes. As they cook, you'll feel them begin to firm up. If they're still squishy, they probably aren't done yet.

BACON-WRAPPED PORK CHOPS WITH SEASONED BUTTER

Steps:

• Dry the chops with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Wrap a strip of bacon around each one, securing with a toothpick. Cook as directed below to medium doneness. Remove toothpick; serve chops with Garlic-Mustard Butter (see directions below).
• Broil: Broil 4 inches from heat source, 6-7 minutes. Turn and continue broiling to desired doneness, approximately 5-6 minutes until internal temperature on a thermometer reads 145 degrees.
• Panbroil: Heat grill pan over high heat; add chops, lower heat to medium-high and cook for 6-7 minutes, until nicely browned. Turn and continue cooking for about 5-6 minutes until internal temperature on a thermometer reads 145 degrees F.
• Grill: Prepare medium-hot fire in grill; grill chops over direct heat for 6-7 minutes; turn and grill 5-6 minutes until internal temperature on a thermometer reads 145 degrees F.
• Garlic-Mustard Butter: In a small bowl, stir together ingredients until well mixed. Wrap in waxed paper to shape like a stick of butter. Chill while pork is cooking. When ready to serve, cut into fourths and top each pork mignon before serving.
