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

Preparation

Step 1

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 resealable plastic 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, for 4-5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°, basting occasionally with reserved marinade. Let meat stand for 5 minutes before serving. Discard toothpicks. Yield: 4 servings.
