Spicy filling and a smoky-sweet flavour from the rub are the two things I can’t get enough of this Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Pork Chops. These juicy, tender pork chops have the perfect balance of everything in each bite. For sure, a mind-blowing meal! The sweet brown sugar rub with the spicy cream cheese filling is extraordinary. It is not a question that my family and friends are obsessed with this dish.
INGREDIENTS
4 Smithfield Hickory Smoked Brown Sugar Boneless Center Cut Pork Chops
4 oz cream cheese softened
1/4 c. grated cheddar
1/4 c. minced jalapeno
1 clove garlic minced
1/4 tsp salt
HOW TO MAKE JALAPENO POPPER STUFFED PORK CHOPS
Step 1: Ready the grill. Heat it to medium heat. Grease the grates.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, place the cream cheese, cheddar, jalapeno, garlic, and salt. Stir well.
Step 3: Into the sides of the pork chops, cut a deep pocket using a sharp knife.
Step 4: Evenly spoon the filling into each pork chops.
Step 5: Secure the sliced sides of the pork chops with toothpicks.
Step 6: Place in the grill and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until the internal temperature of the pork chops reads 145 degrees.
Step 7: Remove the cooked chops from the grill and allow them to rest for at least 3 minutes.

NOTE:
For a spicier filling I would suggest not to remove the seeds and membranes or if you like a mild filling feel free to remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeno.
