Chile Chop Sandwiches Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • For Chops/Marinade

  • Combine all marinade ingredients(and a lil pepper) other than olive oil in large stainless steel or glass bowl.
  • Whisk to combine well.
  • Remove about 1/3 cup of the marinade and set aside.
  • To the rest, add the olive oil and whisk, again.
  • Add chops to marinade and toss to coat. Let rest at room temp while preparing grill and rest of ingredients. Toss once or twice to coat evenly.

  • For Wilted Spinach Topping

  • Cook bacon until crisp and crumble. Or, do like I do. Cut raw(partially frozen) bacon into small pieces, THEN fry til crisp.
  • Combine spinach and onion slices in large bowl.
  • Add bacon and drippings(you only need a 2-3T, so if there's more, you can discard it) to spinach and onion and toss well.
  • Add reserved marinade(NOT the left over from what the pork was in, but the bit you kept out before adding the oil:) and toss again.

  • To Prepare Sandwich

  • Grill chops over medium high heat for just about 3 minutes each side. Cook only until inside temp reaches no more than 160.(apparently safe temp for pork is now 145, but I still cook til about 155 and serve at 160)
  • Toss cut buns on grill too, briefly, if desired.
  • Add sliced cheese to bottom bun, top with pork chop then some of the wilted spinach topping.
