I love these stuffed holiday pork chops. And I don’t normally like pork chops. In fact, I normally can’t stand them. But these are different. The flavors literally explode in your mouth. I’m not sure which tastes better: the seasoning on the “crust” of the pork chops or the delicious stuffing.

They’re also easy to make. A few steps, but none difficult. Despite their name ‘holiday pork chops’, you can make them year-round (haha). This recipe is adapted from “Southern Living“. It was published at least 4 years ago in the magazine, though, and I made some changes. Actually, when don’t I make changes? That’s why you all visit! I test and adjust everything.

Below I’ve included step-by-step pictures. I use “Homemade Montreal Steak Seasoning” for the recipe. I highly recommend it because the flavors are slightly different from traditional steak seasoning you might find in the store.

I have a question for you: What is your favorite stuffing for pork chops? Or what would you like to see? Mushrooms? More cranberry options? Cornbread? Vegetables? Brown sugar?  Please comment below!

If you’re interested in the potatoes served on the side (in the picture above), check out “Easy Roasted Potatoes with Rosemary.“
