Bacon-Wrapped Pork Chops with Seasoned Butter

  • 4 6-7 ounce boneless pork loin chops, 1 1/4-inch thick
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon
  • Garlic-Mustard Butter

Garlic-Mustard Butter:

  • 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick), softened to room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Cooking Directions

Dry the chops with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Wrap a strip of bacon around each one, securing with a toothpick. Cook as directly below to medium doneness. Remove toothpick; serve chops topped with Garlic-Mustard Butter.

Broil: Broil 4 inches from heat source, 6-7 minutes. Turn and continue broiling to desired doneness, approximately 5-6 minutes for medium (160 degrees F.).

Pan-broil: Heat grill pan over high heat; add chops, lower heat to medium-high and cook for 6-7 minutes, until nicely browned. Turn and continue cooking for about 5-6 minutes for medium doneness.

Grill: Prepare medium-hot fire in grill; grill chops over direct heat for 6-7 minutes; turn and grill 5-6 minutes more for medium doneness.

Garlic-Mustard Butter preparation: In a small bowl, stir together ingredients until well-mixed. Wrap in waxed paper to shape like a stick of butter. Chill while pork is cooking. When ready to serve, cut into fourths and top each pork chop.

Serves 4.
