Bacon Swiss Pork Chops

Bacon Swiss Pork Chops are amazing because it's a lot of bang for the effort! It is SO good and SO easy.  Just 5 ingredients, to make these juicy, flavorful pork chops.

The bacon and oil brush keep the chops nice and juicy, and the cheese... Well, cheese makes everything better.  

This recipe is also low carb and keto.

What Kind of Pork Chops Should I Use?

I typically use thick cut (1 to 1.5 inch) center-cut bone-in pork chops. I like them the best, and I find they're the easiest to keep juicy.

Bone-in meat is typically juicier, and the thickness makes it less temperamental with cook time.

If you do decide to get a different cut of pork chops, I still recommend getting thick and bone-in, as these two factors will really keep the juiciness in your meat.

How Long to Cook Pork Chops in the Oven

As you might guess, different size pork chops need different amounts of time to cook.

At 425°F, which is the temperature I use for this recipe, a 1-inch thick chop will need about 12-15 minutes, and a half-inch chop will only need 6-7 minutes. If your pork chop is thicker than one inch, you will need to cook it for about 17-20 minutes.

The key to getting the perfectly cooked pork chops is about making sure the internal temperature is correct. Your pork chop is ready to come out of the oven when a thermometer stuck in the middle reads 145°.

Rest for 3 minutes after removing from the oven, and the temperature will continue to rise a few degrees.

Can I Use a Different Cheese?

Yes, take your pick!

I'm not normally a Swiss cheese fan, but it was really good in this recipe. Even my picky children agreed. (Although they did warn me that if you tried to pick it off and eat it by itself it was not as good. 😂 Swiss cheese must be with a bite of pork chop and bacon!) 

Of course, you can swap it out if you'd rather. Provolone, Parmesan, or sharp cheddar would all be excellent. The key is to have a little bit of bitterness in the cheese to offset the saltiness in the pork. It makes it really amazing.

What to Serve with Bacon Swiss Pork Chops?

We like to keep it simple and serve with mashed potatoes and a vegetable. Some vegetable ideas are steamed broccoli, a green salad, green beans and shallots, or sauteed zucchini and squash.

If you're on a keto or low carb diet, double up on the veggies or replace mashed potatoes with mashed cauliflower or riced cauliflower.

    Is the bacon precooked before putting on top?

      No. Just lay it on top raw, and it will all cook together.

      A baking sheet, like a cookie sheet, is what I use. You can also use a casserole dish, like a 9"x13"
