Bacon Wrapped Pork Chops

Step by Step Instructions

1. 1

   Pat dry pork chops with a paper towel.

   For this step

   • 4 boneless pork chops
2. 2

   Tightly wrap two slices of bacon around each pork chop. Tuck the ends of the bacon under the weave on the bottom to keep the bacon from curling as it cooks.

   For this step

   • 8 slices thin cut bacon
3. 3

   In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, brown sugar substitute, salt, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper and garlic powder.

   For this step

   • 1 ½ tablespoons chili powder
   • 1 tablespoon brown sugar free sweetener
   • ½ teaspoon salt
   • ½ teaspoon paprika
   • ½ teaspoon black pepper
   • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
   • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
4. 4

   Sprinkle seasoning over each bacon wrapped pork chop (top, sides, bottom) until evenly coated. Press or rub seasoning in to get it to stick.

5. 5

   Line a rimmed baking tray with foil. Then place a wire rack on top. Place prepared pork chops on the rack spacing at least an inch apart. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until a thermometer reads 140 degrees.

6. 6

   Broil on high for about 1–3 minutes, watching closely, until the bacon is browned and the center of each chop reaches 145°F. If the bacon browns first, return to the 400°F oven until the pork reaches 145°F. Remove from the heat and rest for at least 3 minutes before serving.
