Smothered Pork Chops

I am currently expecting and cannot diet, but as soon as this sweet bean pops out, it’s back to diet and exercise for this family! So each week I will be calculating each meal for both calories and cost.  That way, when the time comes, calorie counting should be a cinch!

 

Ingredients:

• 4 butterfly pork chops
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 tbsp BBQ Sauce
• 5 strips of bacon
• 2 cups shredded cheese

Directions:

 

Salt and pepper pork chops.  Place in a greased casserole.  Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes on each side.  Meanwhile, cook bacon and cool.  Brush pork  chops with BBQ sauce.  Sprinkle with crumbled bacon and shredded cheese.
