Cream Cheese Stuffed Pork Chops Wrapped in Bacon

Submitted by Brightspot

"This is a favorite of my daughter who loves cream cheese and bacon on anything! We often find bacon wrapped recipes for chicken, but since my husband has a chicken allergy, we go with pork instead. :) Serve with fresh green beans and a baked potato which can be cooked at the same time and you have a healthy, easy, inexpensive meal!"

My dad said this was too good for the kids...so WE ate them by the fistful. Da pecan don't fall far from dat tree, does it not?

Very tasty, and they would have been easy to make if I hadn't gotten such big pork chops. Made it a bit of a pain to pound them out. Also they were a tad bit chewey, so I think I'll cut back a little on the baking time when I make them again- because I'll absolutely make these again in the future. Cream cheese leaked out a little, but a majority of it stayed in place. I think next time I may soak my tooth picks first- they set off my smoke detector once the broiler was turned on.

Started with tenderized chops so a bit overcooked on the ends. Twenty minutes to star next time should do the trick! Can't wait to play with the filling for different flavors!

I loved the flavors but this was dry, dry, dry. I even lowered the temp and it was still overcooked pork. If you like your bacon crispy I would precook it halfway then wrap the pork and bake. 4 stars for flavor though :)
