Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Add the pork chops to the skillet, ensuring they aren't overcrowded. Season generously with onion powder and garlic powder. (1 minute)

03

Step

Cook the pork chops until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). (10 minutes)

04

Step

Transfer the pork chops to a heatproof plate and immediately top each with 2 slices of Cheddar cheese. Cover loosely with a bowl to trap the heat and allow the cheese to melt beautifully. (2 minutes)

05

Step

In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crisp and deeply browned, about 6 minutes. Drain excess grease on a paper towel-lined plate. (6 minutes)

06

Step

Wrap each cheesy pork chop with 3 slices of crispy bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Serve immediately and enjoy this decadent masterpiece!

For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the pork chops for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) in a mixture of olive oil, Dijon mustard, and your favorite herbs.
Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the pork chops. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure even browning.
Use high-quality Cheddar cheese for the best flavor and melting properties. Sharp cheddar provides a delightful tang that complements the richness of the pork and bacon.
Feel free to experiment with other cheeses, such as Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or Pepper Jack, to customize the flavor profile.
Add a touch of freshly cracked black pepper to the pork chops just before serving for a hint of spice.
Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad, for a complete and satisfying meal.
