Bacon Wrapped Pork Chops
Tender, juicy pork chops are wrapped in bacon, coated in a spiced brown sugar mixture and baked to crisp perfection!
Servings: 4
Calories: 500kcal
Equipment
- 1 sheet pan or large skillet
Ingredients
- 4 thick cut boneless pork chops
- salt and pepper
- 8 slices bacon regular cut (not thick cut)
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon parsley flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉ and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place an oven-safe wire rack on top of the foil and set aside.
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper.
- Wrap each of the pork chops with two slices of bacon, keeping the seams all on one side of the chop.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley flakes and red pepper flakes (optional).
- Coat each of the pork chops with the brown sugar mixture. Be sure to add it to both sides of the pork chops; place the chops seam-side-down on the prepared pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the internal temperature of the pork chop reaches 145℉.
- Remove from the oven and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
I do not recommend using thick cut bacon. It won't crisp up in time, so you'll either end up with soft bacon OR overcooked chops.
