. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

In a small saucepan whisk the molasses, bourbon, soy sauce, honey, salt, and Dijon mustard over medium high heat until it begins to boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and boil for 8-10 minutes or until the sauce reduces to 1/2 cup.

Cook the bacon in a large skillet until it is crisp. Drain on paper towels and crumble. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings from the pan.

Pat the pork chops dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining one tablespoon of bacon drippings until hot. Place the pork chops in the pans and heat for 4 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet and put on a baking sheet.

Spoon one tablespoon of the molasses mixture over each pork chop.

Bake for 8-10 minutes.

Remove from oven and drizzle with the remaining sauce and top with bacon.
