Stuffed Pork Chops

I am not a big pork chop eater but, my brother Warren asked me to create a stuffed pork chop dish. So this one is for you Warren. It was delicious I must say and my son Jaden left nothing but crumbs in the plate. So I would say that the stuffed pork chops definitely was yummy for the lips, tongue and tummy.

Pork chops pairs well with apples. I love fried apples and pork chops. I decided to add granny smith apples to the stuffing in this dish and it turned out great. You can always leave out the granny smith apples and try sausage and herb stuffing instead. Smoked pork chops are another go to dish I like with fried apples, string beans, and fried corn. Those were my Thursday night go to dishes growing up with my oldest son.

This dish pairs well with creamed spinach.
