What’s The Best Cut Of Pork Chops For Stuffing?

You can really use any pork chop cut that happens to be your favorite. You just have to slice through thicker chops to make room for the stuffing. The thinner the pork chop, the more tender it will be when you cook it.

Can I Freeze Uncooked Stuffed Pork Chops?

This stuffed pork chop recipe is perfect for freezing and then cooking when you have more time. It only takes about 10 minutes to get them ready. Just leave the toothpicks in to hold them together and make sure that you seal them well when you put them in the freezer.

You can freeze uncooked pork chops for several months ahead of when you need them. This is a great freezer meal that will save you time.

Do I Need Special Kitchen Tools To Make Stuffed Pork Chops?

In a word, no – You don’t need anything special to make this stuffed pork chops recipe. Basically, you need:

1. Pork Chops
2. Stuffing Ingredients
3. Toothpicks – To hold the chops together
4. A Grill – For cooking

Can I Substitute Stuffing Ingredients?

Yes! If the tomatoes and olives aren’t really your thing, try:

• Traditional Stuffing
• Apples
• Cranberries
• Potatoes
• Use Your Imagination!

Can I Make More Than 3 At A Time?

You can make as many pork chops as you need. Just remember to increase the stuffing ingredients by the number of pork chops that you are adding. If you are making 6 pork chops for instance, double the stuffing ingredients.
