Maple Pork Chop Recipe

Prepare the Maple Bourbon BBQ Glaze

In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, bourbon, and BBQ sauce. Simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.

Cook the Pork Chops

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Grill the pork chops for about 6-7 minutes per side, basting with the maple bourbon BBQ glaze during the last few minutes of cooking.

Prepare the Candied Bacon

While the pork chops are cooking, bake the candied bacon in an oven preheated to 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until crispy.

Make the Mashed Potatoes

Peel and dice the potatoes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash with butter and milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook the Green Beans

In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the green beans for about 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

Assemble the Dish

Place the grilled pork chops on plates, drizzle with remaining maple bourbon BBQ glaze, and top with crispy candied bacon. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes and green beans.
