Why This Recipe Is So Enjoyable

This dish combines savory bacon with juicy pork chops, creating a perfect balance of flavors. The zesty sauce adds a bright, tangy kick that lifts the entire meal. It’s a great way to impress guests or enjoy a flavorful weeknight dinner.

Tips To Improve This Recipe

- Use thick-cut bacon to ensure it stays crispy after cooking.
- Let the pork chops rest a few minutes before serving to keep them juicy.
- Cook the bacon-wrapped chops over medium heat to avoid burning the bacon while fully cooking the meat.

Step 1

Turn on your oven’s broiler and moving the rack so it’s about 6 inches from the heat. Wrap each pork chop with two slices of bacon, making sure the meat is completely covered, and use toothpicks to hold everything in place. Arrange the bacon-wrapped chops on a broiler pan and broil them for about 5 minutes on each side, until they’re nicely browned.

Step 2

While the pork is broiling, mix together the chili sauce, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard in a bowl. Once the chops are browned, transfer them to the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour the sauce mixture over the chops, then scatter pineapple chunks on top. Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours, until the pork is really tender and flavorful.

Perfect Pairings

Serve with roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad to add some lightness. Mashed potatoes or rice work well to soak up the zesty sauce. A crisp white wine or a light beer pairs nicely with these flavors.

How To Save Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the bacon from getting too chewy. This dish is best enjoyed fresh but can also be frozen for up to a month.
