Pork Chop Wrapped in Bacon

Pork Chop Wrapped in Bacon cooked in a Crock Pot

Gather the following ingredients:

4 pork chops
Bacon
Oranges or orange juice

Crock Pot
Pan (Optional)

Bacon, pork chops, oranges, juicer, and Crock Pot

You can start by searing the pork chops in a pan for a minute or two on each side to lock in the juices.  I am too lazy to do this, but it is a good idea.

Wrapped the bacon around the pork chops place them into the Crock Pot.

If you are using fresh oranges juice them and pour the fresh orange juice into the Crock Pot.  If you are using normal orange juice then just pour it into the Crock Pot.  You need enough to cover the pork chops or at least enough to cover half an inch worth.

When the pork is able to be pulled apart with two forks remove it from the Crock Pot. Dump out the vinegar. Replace the pork and shred the meat.

Cover with your favorite BBQ sauce, stir, and cook for another hour.
– Sweet BBQ sauces can burn, and become bitter, if cooked too long in the Crock Pot which is why you wait until the end to add it.

Place the pulled pork between 2 buns and eat.

Add coleslaw on top of the pulled pork if desired.
