Provided by Food Network

Time 13h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 center cut pork chops
1 pound ground (chili cut) pork
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
2 cups BBQ sauce, (recommended: Bro's BBQ Sauce)
Dirty rice, red beans and tasso, praline yams and cornbread, as accompaniments, optional

Steps:

  • On a flat surface, use a sharp knife to make a pocket inside each of the pork chops. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, salt, cayenne, granulated garlic, black pepper, paprika, and green onions; mix well. Divide the pork mixture into 4 equal amounts and overstuff the mixture into the pocket of each pork chop. Mix all the rub ingredients together in a small bowl. Season each pork chop with the rub. Cover and refrigerate overnight to let the seasoning infuse into the chops. Preheat a grill or BBQ pit to 375 degrees F. Put the stuffed chops on the grill or BBQ pit. After 30 minutes, turn the pork chops over. After an additional 15 minutes, turn each pork chop over and begin basting each side with BBQ sauce. Grill until a pretty glaze forms and the internal temperature registers 170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Serve the pork chops on top of dirty rice, with red beans and tasso, praline yams and cornbread, if desired.

Recipe comes from the Betty Crocker Simple Healthy Meals. For a less spicy dish, use plain diced tomatoes instead of the diced tomatoes with jalapeno peppers.

Provided by crazycookinmama

Categories     Pork

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 (1/4 lb) pork loin chop with bone, 1/2 inch thick about 1 lb, trimmed of fat
2 teaspoons Mrs Dash's extra spicy seasoning
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 medium onion, sliced
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can zesty diced tomatoes with jalapeno peppers, undrained

Steps:

  • Sprinkle both sides of pork chops with seasoning blend. In 12-inch nonstick skllet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly tender. Push onion to one side of skillet.
  • Add pork to other side of skillet. Cook about 3 minutes, turning once, until browned. Add tomatoes. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and cook 4 to 8 minutes or until pork is no longer pink in center.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, and 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the pork chops are cooked by cutting into one of them. The juices should run clear, with no pink in the center.
  • To add more flavor to the pork chops, you can marinate them in the Cajun spices for several hours or overnight before cooking.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

This Cajun-spiced pork chops recipe is an easy and delicious way to enjoy this classic Southern dish. The pork chops are tender and juicy, with a flavorful Cajun crust. This recipe is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
