Note
  • We suggest using regular sliced bacon and not thick-cut bacon in this recipe. Thick-cut bacon won’t crisp up as easily.
  • This recipe uses 3/4-inch thick boneless chops, if your chops are thicker or thinner, the time will need to be adjusted.
  • Are Bacon-Wrapped Pork Chops gluten-free? Yes! All of the ingredients in this recipe are gluten-free.
  • For a low-carb/keto-friendly dish, you can substitute Swerve or Truvia Brown Sugar blend for the brown sugar.
  • These are also delicious brushed with some BBQ sauce after cooking.
  • Pork is safe to eat when it reaches an internal temperature of 145ºF.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  • To ensure tender and juicy pork chops, it is important to not overcook the pork.
  • You want the cooked pork chops to have a hint of blush when you cut into them.
  • It is perfectly safe to eat pork that is slightly pink!
