Bacon Wrapped Pork Chops With BBQ Sauce

Submitted by Charmie777

"Absolutely delicious take on pork chops. The chops really benefit from the bacon, making them moist and flavorful. You can also do on the grill if you prefer."

Ready In:: 1hr 5mins
Ingredients:: 5
Yields:: 4 chops
Serves:: 4

ingredients

4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
¹⁄₂ cup barbecue sauce
8 slices bacon
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
salt & freshly ground black pepper

directions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
On work surface layer slices of bacon side by side. Place each chop on 2 pieces of bacon (picture 2 slices of bacon as the upright part of an H, and the pork chop as the across section). Season with salt and pepper.
Slather the chops with barbeque sauce. Flip the chops and slather the other side as well, until barbeque sauce is used up.
Lay a sprig of rosemary on each chop (letting the ends hang over the edge, for easy removal before serving).
Wrap bacon slices tightly around each chop.
Prepare broiler pan (or any roasting pan with a rack), by spraying surface with cooking spray.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of the meat should register about 150°F
Turn oven to broil and broil on each side until bacon is crisp.
Let chops rest for a few minutes. Remove rosemary sprigs before serving.
If desired, serve with additional warmed barbeque sauce.
Note: To cook on grill, cook over direct heat for about 5 minutes per side, then transfer to indirect heat and continue cooking until internal temperature is 150°F (about 30 minutes).

Do I need to adjust cooking time for bone in chops of the same size?

I made this for my husband because I was tired of making the same old pork chop recipe. He was very happy with this despite picking off the bacon and eating it first. "It's bacon wrapped. I have to unwrap it", he tells me. This was fast and super easy even though it set off my smoke detector while broiling. I used boneless thick-cut chops and I found that two slices of bacon were perfect. I will be adding this to our dinner repertoire rotation. Thank you so very much!

These were easy and delicious. At first I misunderstood the directions and wrapped the chops with bacon and then slathered with barbecue sauce. When I realized my mistake I removed the bacon and turned it over to put the sauce on the chops. Yes I was a mess. My chops were probably less than an inch and I found two strips of bacon were more than enough. Next time I will use just one. I used Kittencal's recipe for barbecue sauce from this site which is phenomenal. I will definitely make this again.

BBQ, bacon, and pork chops what more can be said! :) My DH was in heaven! He did grill the chops and I didnt have fresh rosemary so I added a sprinkle or two of dried to the bbq sauce. Made the six pork chops for two us so we could enjoy leftovers too. Charmie we will be making these again! Made and reviewed for the Culinary Quest .

We have a winner! I am not a 'lives for bacon' gal but DH loves it so I gave this recipe a try. I used bone in chops as a personal preference and because they were about 3/4" thick I jacked the temperature to 425 for 20 minutes. Otherwise I followed the recipe. It was just perfect with the bacon nicely done but not at all burned and the pork still moist. This recipe will be made frequently. I also had a slice of onion with it. Thanks for posting! Made for Culinary Quest 2014.

I was looking for an easy recipe for my pork chops that ad BBQ seasoning already on them. This one was a hit! I already had the ingredients on my list (still added the BBQ sauce). So tender! We enjoyed it very much!!
