When I was in college, and after an excruciatingly long week of classes, my friends and I would mosey to our favorite local eatery and share a basket of jalapeno poppers. Those were the days! One of my college friends recently emailed me an updated recipe bringing bacon into the mix of cream-cheese deliciousness. Yes, please!

Place flour, sugar, and pepper into a resealable quart or gallon-size plastic bag and shake to mix. Shake bacon with flour mixture a few strips at a time to coat. Place coated bacon onto a baking sheet or broiler pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until bacon has cooked to desired doneness.
Dry the chops with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
Wrap a strip of bacon around each one, securing with a toothpick.
Cook as directed below to medium doneness. Remove toothpick; serve chops topped with Garlic-Mustard Butter.
Broil: Broil 4 inches from heat source, 6-7 minutes. Turn and continue broiling to desired doneness, approximately 5-6 minutes for medium (160 degrees F.).
Pan-broil: Heat grill pan over high heat; add chops, lower heat to medium-high and cook for 6-7 minutes, until nicely browned. Turn and continue cooking for about 5-6 minutes for medium doneness.
Grill: Prepare medium-hot fire in grill; grill chops over direct heat for 6-7 minutes; turn and grill 5-6 minutes more for medium doneness.
Garlic-Mustard Butter:
In a small bowl, stir together butter, mustard and garlic until well-mixed.
Wrap in waxed paper to shape like a stick of butter.
Chill while pork is cooking. When ready to serve, cut into fourths and top each pork chop.
