BBQ Bacon Cheddar Chops

I have always been an animal lover; cows, pigs, chickens - they ALL taste great!  The pig is the most interesting animal in my opinion because each part of it tastes so different.  Pork chops, ham, bacon, ribs, sausage - it's hard to believe they all come from the same amazing animal.  I love each kind of meat for it's unique flavor, but you know what's even better than a great piece of meat?  How about two of 'em together!  This awesome recipe puts pork and bacon on the same plate and it is absolutely terrific.
