Bacon Wrapped Pork Chops

As they say, bacon makes everything better, and these Bacon-Wrapped Pork Chops will prove it. Perk up your bland, boring pork chops by wrapping them in bacon.

There’s no denying that pork chops are a staple of home cooking. They’re relatively cheap to buy and easy to make. But they can be rather boring and bland when just grilled plain. We often make Sweet & Sour Pork Chops, which gives it more flavor, but I can’t resist these bacon-wrapped chops.

Bacon adds the flavor and fat that a bland pork chop needs.  Slather a little of my favorite homemade bourbon BBQ sauce on them and you’ll be making them every week! Serve them with these Bang Bang Brussels Sprouts for the perfect combo.

Bacon pork chops are not exactly diet food, but once in a while I think it’s okay to cheat and add a slice or two of bacon to your pork chops. You can use chops or steaks for this recipe. If you’re wondering, here’s the difference between pork chops vs pork steaks.

Ingredients You Need

• Boneless pork chops – Try to find chops that are about 1″ – 1 1/2″ thick and are uniform in size.
• Thick-cut bacon – I think thick-cut bacon gives the best texture, but you can use other types. Just make sure to choose a quality, cured, thick-cut bacon. The smokier the better. It adds a great flavor to the meat.
• Seasoning salt
• Ground black pepper

Helpful Tips

• Make sure your bacon is in long enough strips to wrap around the pork chops or they will come loose. I like to tuck the ends under so they don’t flap and unwind.
• Don’t overlap the bacon or it won’t get fully crispy and cooked. It needs full surface contact.
• It’s very important to use a meat thermometer to make sure you don’t overcook the pork chops.

How to Make Bacon-Wrapped Pork Chops

Step 1: Wrap the pork chops

You’ll need two pieces of bacon for each pork chop. Start at one end and wrap the bacon in a spiral pattern around the chop. Start the next wrap where the last one left off and try not to overlap too much.

Step 2: Pan sear

I cook pork chops on the stove top, which allows for the bacon to cook evenly and at a rate that won’t cause it to burn. If you noticed that the bacon is cooking too fast, just adjust the temperature down a bit. It will take around 5-6 minutes per side for the pork to cook through.

You can cook these on the grill, if you want, but make sure it’s not set too high or the bacon will scorch before the pork is done.

What to Serve with Bacon Pork Chops

These bacon wrapped pork chops go really well with cheesy baked broccoli, bacon & jalapeno corn salad or with roasted cauliflower. I also like to serve this with a classic wedge salad, or if I’m not counting calories, a stove top Mac & Cheese.

This pork chop will definitely add flavor to your meal. If you’ve tried it, we’d love to hear how it turned out for you in the comments section below.
