• Prepare broiler pan (or any roasting pan with a rack), by spraying surface with cooking spray.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of the meat should register about 150°F
• Turn oven to broil and broil on each side until bacon is crisp.
• Let chops rest for a few minutes. Remove rosemary sprigs before serving.
• If desired, serve with additional warmed barbeque sauce.
• Note: To cook on grill, cook over direct heat for about 5 minutes per side, then transfer to indirect heat and continue cooking until internal temperature is 150°F (about 30 minutes).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Wrap each pork chop in 2 bacon slices to completely cover the pork chop, and secure with toothpicks. Place the wrapped chops onto a broiler pan, and broil until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
• Mix together the chili sauce, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard in a bowl. Place the browned pork chops into the bottom of a slow cooker, and pour the chili sauce mixture over the chops. Spread pineapple chunks over the chops, set the cooker to Low, and cook until very tender, about 6 hours.
