Cream Cheese Stuffed Pork Chops Wrapped In Bacon Food

CREAM CHEESE STUFFED PORK CHOPS WRAPPED IN BACON

Steps:

• Cream cheese and bacon should be room temperature for easier handling.
• Season pork chops with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper, then pound to about 1/4" thickness.
• Put cream cheese (1-2 tablespoons) onto the center of each flattened pork chop.
• Roll the pork chops closed (to keep the cream cheese inside).
• Wrap each pork chop in one to two pieces of bacon (depending on how big your pork chops are). Secure with a toothpick.
• Place the pork chops in a lightly greased baking dish, and bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees.
• Broil for 5 minutes to crisp the bacon.

BBQ BACON CHEDDAR-STUFFED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray, or line with cooking parchment paper.
• In thick side of each pork chop, cut a slit about 2 inches deep and 3 inches long to form a pocket (do not cut in half.) In small bowl, mix cheese, bacon and 4 teaspoons of the barbecue sauce. Spoon generous tablespoonfuls cheese mixture into each pocket; pinch edges of pork together, and secure with toothpick.
• Sprinkle both sides of pork with salt and pepper. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook pork chops in oil 1 to 2 minutes, turning once, just until lightly browned. Place pork chops apart on pan.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of pork reads 145°F. In small microwavable bowl, microwave remaining barbecue sauce covered on High 45 to 60 seconds or until heated through.
• Before serving, remove toothpicks from pork chops. Brush chops with warm barbecue sauce; garnish with green onion. Serve with mashed potatoes.

GRILLED TRIPLE CHEESE AND BACON STUFFED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat Grill.
• Fry the bacon in a frying pan over medium/low heat until it is very crispy. Wrap in paper towel once done to drain the fat off and set aside until completely cool.
• Rinse and pat dry the pork chops.
• Turn chops onto their side (fat side down) and cut a pouch lengthwise down the chop -- leave about 1/4" from each end be sure to not slice down all the way through the chop to the other side.
• Season all 3 chops inside and out with half of the seasoning salt. Reserve the remaining salt for the stuffing.
• In a small bowl, crumble all the bacon and then combine the cheeses, parsley and the remaining 1/4 tsp of the seasoning salt. Toss well with hands.
• Equally divide the stuffing between the 3 chops by filling the pouches of each with the mixture.
• With cooking twine or toothpicks ( I prefer twine ) close, as tightly as you can, the pouch of each pork chop.
• Grill over medium heat 6-8 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of your chops.
• Be sure to use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature and to ensure that you DO NOT OVER COOK! You should reach at least 145 degrees (the USDA has reduced their recommended internal temperature on pork chops down from 160 degrees due to the potential to overcook when trying to reach 160 degrees).
• **I grilled my almost 2" chops for 5 min on each side and then flipped again and rotated the chop 1/4 turn (to create a crisscross grill pattern) and grilled each side again for about 3 minutes. I removed from the heat when the internal temperature was about 150 degrees and then loosely covered with aluminum foil and let rest for about 3-5 minutes and then be sure to REMOVE the twine or toothpicks before serving.**.

CRUSTED PORK CHOPS WRAPPED IN BACON

Steps:

• Set up a dredging station by whisking the egg and milk together in a wide, shallow bowl. Combine the flour, bread crumbs and Parmesan together in another bowl; set aside.
• Season the pork chops with salt, pepper and a dash of garlic power on each side.
• Wrap the bacon around the pork chop, securing it on the side with a toothpick.
• Dredge the chops one at a time in the egg then the breading mixture, pressing to coat evenly.
• In large cast-iron skillet heat oil and butter over medium-high heat. Fry about 2- 3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on a paper toweling. Remove the toothpicks before eating.

BACON-WRAPPED, BROCCOLI-CHEESE STUFFED PORK LOIN RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Carefully slice the pork tenderloins open lengthwise, butterfly-style (not all the way through to the other edge). In nonstick skillet, in olive oil over medium high heat, sear pork tenderloins until browned on both sides. Remove to meat cutting board. Open tenderloins and pound flatter. Close and sprinkle liberally with seasoning salt on both sides, top and bottom. In medium bowl, combine broccoli, Monterey Jack, Cheddar cheese and salt. Open each tenderloin along the fold and fill with broccoli mixture. Carefully close pork over the filling. On bacon rack in microwave oven, cook bacon (covered with paper towel) until cooked but still pliable. Reserve bacon fat. Wrap each tenderloin in 4 pieces of bacon. Place stuffed, bacon-wrapped tenderloins in 9 x 13-inch (23 x 33 cm) casserole dish and pour reserved bacon fat over meat. Bake approximately 25 to 30 minutes (basting half way with juices in pan), or until instant read thermometer reads 155°F (68°C). Smaller pieces of pork tenderloin will be cooked sooner. Keep that in mind. Check internal temperature of pork after 20 minutes. Yield: 4 servings 1 serving 631.6 calories 70.6 g protein 35.6 g fat 2.8 g net carbs

CREAM CHEESE STUFFED JALAPENOS WRAPPED IN BACON

Steps:

• Wash and remove the seeds of the jalapenos by making a "T" cut in the jalapenos and scooping out the seeds. (A "T" cut is where you cut the pepper horizontal about half way and then in the middle of the slit, you cut a vertical slit forming a "T" cut in the pepper.).
• In a bowl, combine cream cheese, sun dried tomatoes, and garlic powder. Using a teaspoon "stuff" the jalapeno with the cream cheese mixture.
• Wrap jalapeno in bacon and secure with a toothpick. (If you are cooking on the grill remember to soak toothpick in water for 15 minutes before securing pepper with it, to ensure it doesn't catch fire on the grill).
• Cook on the grill or bake at 450° F for 15 minutes or until bacon is cooked through.
• Enjoy!
