This recipe is a variation on one I found in a church cookbook. I prepare these cheesy chops year-round...on vacation, at tailgate parties or at home.

Ingredients

4 bone-in pork loin chops (1 inch thick)
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground mustard
4 thin slices fully cooked ham
4 thin slices part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

Cut a pocket in each chop. Combine the next 10 ingredients. Reserve 1/2 cup for basting and refrigerate. Pour remaining marinade into a large Ziploc® Fresh Shield® Double Zipper Storage bag or shallow glass container. Add pork and turn to coat. Seal bag or cover container; refrigerate overnight, turning meat occasionally.
Place a cheese slice on each slice of ham; roll up jelly-roll style. Drain pork and discard marinade. Insert a ham/cheese roll in each pocket; secure with soaked toothpicks.
Grill, covered, over medium heat, turning and basting occasionally with reserved marinade, for 25-35 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Remove toothpicks.
