Ingredients

Mustard Bacon BBQ Sauce

4 oz bacon chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup yellow mustard
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Pork Chops:

1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon tablespoon smoked paprika
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 pounds boneless pork chops

Instructions

Cook the bacon in a medium saucepan until almost crisp. If necessary, drain the grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until softened.
4 oz bacon, 1/2 cup chopped onion
Add the mustard, honey, brown sugar, vinegar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Bring to a light boil and let it simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Taste, and season with salt and pepper as needed. (The sauce will thicken upon standing. You can use it right away, but I like to make it earlier to give it time to set up.)
3/4 cup yellow mustard, 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, Salt and pepper
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, mustard, and pepper.
1 tablespoon light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon tablespoon smoked paprika, 1/2 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard, 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Rub the mixture evenly over the pork chops.
2 pounds boneless pork chops
Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and cook, turning once, until they reach an internal temperature of 140ºF, about 8-12 minutes total, depending on the size of your pork chops.
Remove from the grill and let the pork chops sit for 5 minutes before serving. (They will come to temperature at 145ºF during the rest time.)
