We have enjoyed pork chops on the grill many, many times, but honestly, I have never made a stuffed pork chop before. It was much easier than I thought, and the flavors are amazing!

Inspired by the National Pork Board and their #grillpork campaign, we decided to head to the kitchen and transform our ordinary pork chops into something extraordinary.

We began by preparing the stuffing on the stovetop. First we sauteed onions, asparagus, parsley, salt, pepper and garlic powder in butter until the vegetables were soft but not too far done. Then mixed them with breadcrumbs and an egg.

After the stuffing was ready, it was time to prepare the Pork Chops. We began we a nice, thick Porterhouse Pork Chops. A few years back, the National Pork Board renamed some of their pork chops because there was a misunderstanding that all pork chops were equal, and they aren’t. When Doug bought the Porterhouse Pork Chops, he learned from the butcher that it gets it’s name from the extra piece of loin much like the Porterhouse Steak.

The Pork Chops we bought were 1 1/4 inches thick. To prepare the Pork Chops for the stuffing, Doug cut a slit in the pork chop down to the bone.

Then I filled the pork chop with stuffing and used toothpicks to hold it together.

Doug grilled the stuffed pork chops over medium heat, turning several times.

The best way to make sure your Pork Chops are done to perfection is to use a thermometer. The pork should be between 145 and 165 degrees depending on how you like your pork cooked, remembering that they will continue cooking while they are resting.

Even with our teenage boys eating, the two Grilled Stuffed Pork Chops were enough for the four of us. The boys loved them.
