Bacon Wrapped? Yes Please!

I’ve found that just about everything tastes better when it is wrapped in bacon. Over the past couple of months, we’ve been wrapping bacon on all sorts of things, mostly vegetables. We LOVE these Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts. And these Bacon Wrapped Green Beans make an elegant side dish for more formal occasions.

But then it occurred to us that you can wrap bacon on more than just veggies. How about bacon wrapped meat? We love pork chops here. And we LOVE the convenience of baking them in the oven. But they do run the risk of coming out a bit dry. But when you wrap them in bacon, you’ll get tender, juicy results every time! We love it when we can find easy, simple recipes that taste so yummy!

What Is The Best Way to Precook Bacon?

You are going to need to precook your bacon a bit before you wrap it around the pork. It seems like everyone has their own methods of cooking bacon perfectly, so feel free to use whatever method you prefer. For this recipe, I actually just microwaved it. We used thick cut bacon, so I cooked it on high for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. For thinner bacon, microwave on high for 3-5 minutes, flipping halfway through. Just keep an eye on it because the cooking time can vary depending on your microwave.

Another way to cook the bacon is to put it in the oven while it is preheating for the pork chops. There is no need to preheat an oven when cooking bacon!
