Bacon is a big thing in our house. My husband and kids are pretty crazy about it and would think that most foods would be amazing if only they were covered with bacon. We’ve even made chocolate bacon popcorn, but this was a new one even for us. We wrapped pork with bacon. Yep, you heard me right…pork on pork action. And the results were phenomenal! If you are a bacon fan, make sure to try this recipe!

Did you season the pork chop at all or just let the mango salsa do the seasoning?
Candice, I did not season the pork chops as they cook in the bacon grease. They end up with quite a bit of flavor from that and the salsa adds to it.
