Why This Recipe Works

We developed this Southwestern Stuffing for Pork Chops recipe for use with our Grilled Stuffed Pork Chops recipe. To prevent the Southwestern stuffing from spilling out of the chops, we mixed Monterey Jack cheese with cooked bell pepper, salsa, and chipotle chile in adobo sauce.

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Cook bell pepper until soft, about 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl and stir in Monterey Jack, salsa, and chiles. Stuff and grill chops as directed.
