How To Make saucy bacon wrapped and stuffed grilled pork loin

Step 1

1. Add half of the bacon to a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook, turning occasionally, until crisp. Place bacon on a paper towel-lined plate. Allow to cool, then crumble.

Step 2

2. Prepare the sauce. In a 9-inch skillet, place crushed pineapple, orange juice, catsup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, minced onion, mustard, ginger, cayenne pepper and cornstarch. Stir well to blend. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat. Cover to keep warm.
Step 3

3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine quinoa, carrots, green pepper, half of the spring onions and half of the crumbled bacon. Stir in 1/2 cup of the sauce.
Step 4

4. In a small bowl, combine onion powder, garlic powder, salt and black pepper.
Step 5

5. Preheat gas grill to medium heat. Oil grill grates.
Step 6

6. Cut a pocket down the side of each pork chop. Sprinkle seasoning mixture onto both sides. Stuff pork chops with bacon-quinoa mixture. Wrap with remaining uncooked bacon strips. Use toothpicks to secure the bacon.
Step 7

7. Place wrapped pork chops on grill. Grill for 5 minutes on each side or until desired doneness is reached.
Step 8

8. To serve, spoon some sauce onto each serving plate. Place stuffed pork chops onto the sauce. Spoon more sauce over top. Sprinkle with remaining crumbled bacon and remaining sliced spring onions.
