"We enjoy these colorful bundles on the deck along with rice and a tall glass of iced tea," Linda Turner Ludwig says from Columbiana, Ohio. For variety, try it with provolone cheese or red sweet peppers...or a substitute chicken breast for the pork chops.

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 2 Servings

10 20 30

Ingredients

4 bacon strips
2 boneless pork loin chops (4 ounces each)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 slices onion (1/4 inch thick)
2 slices tomato (1/2 inch thick)
1/2 medium green pepper, cut in half
2 slices Swiss cheese

Directions

Cross two bacon strips to form an "X"; repeat. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper; place over bacon strips. Layer with onion, tomato and green pepper. Wrap bacon strips over vegetables and secure with a toothpick.
Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Prepare the grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan. Place pork bundles over the drip pan. Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 20-25 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°.
Place cheese slices over bundles; cover and grill 1 minute longer or until cheese is melted. Discard toothpicks. Yield: 2 servings.
