Toothpicks (not pricing cause I use different amounts each time I make this recipe)
Prep Day: Lay 2 strips of bacon in an “X”. Place a chop on bacon, then layer a slice each of green pepper, tomato, and onion. Pull the bacon ends up like you were wrapping a package and stick toothpicks in. Freeze in a single layer in a hard sided disposable container. Do not use Freezer bag may be punctured by toothpicks.
Serve Day: Thaw. Grill with indirect heat about 20 min. The veggies make a nice compliment to pork chop. YUMMMMMMM! Serve with a rice pilaf or baked potato with all the fixings.
Note: You can do this recipe with extra large chicken breasts. I buy pork loin roast and cut it into chops. This recipe is a family friends and I have adapted it for freezer cooking.
