Do you ever have one of those recipes that you make and you just love it so much that you start coming up with ways to incorporate it into all sorts of other dishes? That’s how I felt about our Apple Pecan Stuffing. It is so good! From the buttery bread crumbs to the sweetness of the apples it’s just the bomb-diggity. It’s great all by itself but from the first bite I was trying to figure out what I could stuff with it.

Traditionally it would go inside of a turkey, but seriously, who wants to cook a whole turkey if they don’t have to? Instead I bought a couple of thick, bone-in pork chops and fill them with the sweet, salty, buttery apple pecan stuffing. I seared the pork chops in a cast iron pan over medium high heat until the top and bottom where nice and browned and then I popped the whole pan in the oven where I finished them off. Wow! Guys, I can’t tell you how good these were! The stuffing gave the pork chops so much extra flavor and it helped to keep the pork chops nice and moist which can be a challenge with pork.
