PORK CHOPS WITH DIJON SAUCE
In the Burgundy region of France, home of Dijon, pork chops are traditionally served in a sauce made with mustard, cream and white wine, and there are very few pairings that are better. Richard Olney, a prominent food writer and authority on French cooking, sautéed sliced apples and chops and then baked them all together with cream and mustard dribbled on top. I prefer the method here, but you could always fry up some apples and serve them on the side. (For a dish with roots closer to Normandy than Burgundy, make the same recipe but omit the mustard, deglaze the pan with Calvados instead of wine and stir sliced sautéed Granny Smiths into the sauce itself.)

Steps:
- Melt butter in the oil in a large deep skillet over high heat. Season chops with salt and pepper and add them, browning well, about 2 or 3 minutes a side, reducing the heat slightly if chops brown too quickly.
- Remove chops to a platter and pour off most of the fat. Add green onions or shallots and cook over medium-high heat until softened, about 1 minute. Add wine and bring to a boil, scraping brown bits off the bottom. Stir in the stock and return chops to the pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer, cover and cook until chops are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove the chops to a warm platter; cover with foil to keep warm. Raise the heat and boil pan juices to reduce by half, about 2 minutes. Add cream and boil 2 minutes more, until sauce reduces a bit and thickens. Remove from the heat and whisk in mustard and the parsley, if using. Taste and add more mustard if desired. Immediately spoon sauce over the chops and serve.

CAST IRON SKILLET PORK CHOPS WITH DIJON SAUCE
This is a quick, simple cast iron pork chop recipe that is packed with flavor, and also low carb! The bonus is this sauce would be great on chicken and beef as well. Note: I'm not the biggest fan of any type of mustard, but I found this sauce to be divine and the mustard is not overpowering at all.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Blot pork chops on each side with a paper towel to absorb any moisture. Score the fat along the side on each chop so they don't curl. Season both sides of each chop with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons butter and olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork chops in the hot skillet until a nice crust is formed, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
- While pork chops are baking, pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Add onion and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of wine and bring to a boil. Let wine reduce by half, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Stir in remaining wine and chicken broth. Bring back to a boil and reduce by half.
- Pour in cream; bring back to a boil and cook until reduced and thickened. To test for thickness, remove a spoonful of sauce and run a finger through it. If a clear path is left, the sauce is ready. Remove from heat and stir in remaining butter and Dijon mustard. Stir in parsley.
- Remove chops from the oven, top with sauce, and serve.

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.
STUFFING-FILLED PORK CHOPS WITH CREAM SAUCE
It's taken me about 3 tries to get this right. This one is the savory version. I plan on making a sweet version as well. A couple of people have suggested using a pork tenderloin and rolling or wrapping it around the stuffing, I haven't tried it, you may ;)

Steps:
- Prepare the stuffing: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and sauté the onions, garlic, celery, bell pepper, and mushrooms over medium heat until the vegetables have softened (about 10 minutes).
- Stir in parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper, mixing until well combined.
- Toss with bread cubes gently.
- Add liquid until bread cubes are just barely mushy on the outside (you may not need the whole 1/4 cup liquid, or you may need a little more).
- Stuff the pork chops: Slice pockets into the pork chops toward, but not quite reaching, the bone.
- Stuff each pork chop and seal with toothpicks (I jam pack the stuffing in there, feel free to do the same).
- Sauté the pork chops in 2 tablespoons butter for about 5 minutes per side, until browned.
- Remove toothpicks and set pork chops in a casserole or other baking dish that will hold them.
- If there is any stuffing left over, you may mound it on top of the pork chops.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and add all the vegetables.
- Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until all the vegetables are tender and the onions are translucent.
- Lower heat to medium and sprinkle with flour.
- Cook, stirring constantly, for about a minute.
- Whisk in the milk, scraping the pan as you go to get up all the flour.
- Cook, whisking often, until mixture begins to boil and thickens to a slightly thicker consistency than heavy cream.
- Immediately remove pan from heat and stir in cheddar cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour sauce over the pork chops.
- Prepare the topping: Stir the breadcrumbs into the butter until well combined.
- Sprinkle topping over the pork chops.
- If you're daring, lightly sprinkle the top with some very very finely grated cheddar cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is browned and the sauce is bubbly.
- Let stand for about 10 minutes unless you like third degree burns in your mouth.
- Enjoy!
