01
Step 1
Start by turning on your oven’s broiler and moving the rack so it’s about 6 inches from the heat. Take each pork chop and wrap it with two slices of bacon, making sure the bacon fully covers the meat. Use toothpicks to hold everything in place. Lay the bacon-wrapped chops on a broiler pan and broil them until they’re nicely browned, which should take about 5 minutes per side.

Step 2
While the pork is browning, mix together the chili sauce, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Once the chops are browned, transfer them to the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour the sauce over the pork and then scatter pineapple chunks on top. Set the slow cooker to Low and let everything cook gently for about 6 hours until the pork is super tender and flavorful.

How to serve
Pair this dish with roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad to balance the richness. Mashed potatoes or a creamy risotto also make excellent sides. Garnish with chopped herbs like parsley or chives for a fresh finish.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven to keep the bacon crisp. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess and loss of flavor.
