Bacon Cheese Brown Sugar Pork Chops

These sweet and garlicky pork chops are also rich with cheese and bacon flavors. Easy and quick too!

I got this great idea after my friend Maria posted the original recipe from Beyer Beware on her recipe group. I drooled all over the keyboard and knew I MUST make these–or something very similar.

My recipe eliminates the butter which is replaced by bacon because, well, bacon just improves about everything. Didn’t much care for her choice of cheese, but I’m assuming she used what she had–something I am always in favor of doing, but I’m not a huge fan of Colby cheese; I prefer cheddar.

Sweet and garlicky

On the subject of cheeses, I would have used blue cheese here, but I didn’t have any. So I mixed mozzarella and sharp cheddar. It blended wonderfully with the smoky and sweet flavor. Smoked gouda would be another great choice.

I didn’t do a fancy wrap with the bacon either.  I just laid it diagonally across each chop so I got maximum surface area covered, then tucked the ends under.

Try with fancier cheeses for a gourmet taste

I strongly suggest you line the pan with either parchment or foil because the sugar will burn and really adhere to the pan–and it will require either elbow grease to clean it or a good soak.  Lining eliminates a nasty cleanup.
