What Kind of Pork Chops To Stuff

When stuffing pork chops, you do not want to stuff very thick or very thin chops for the best results – go for a 1/2″ – 1″ thick cut.

Pork chops that are too thin will be hard to cut in half and stuff without cutting through.
Pork chops that are too thick cook unevenly when stuffed – it is absolutely essential to heat the stuffed center to 135 degrees just like the rest of the pork!

When Are Pork Chops Done Cooking

Pork is considered fully cooked and safe to eat when the internal temperature has reached 135 degreesF when probed with a meat thermometer.

Pork can have a slight pink appearance when fully cooked – this is normal, and is not a sign the pork is not fully cooked.

Always go off the temperature on your thermometer, instead of time on a clock or appearance of the meat, when judging the meat’s doneness.

What Temperature To Bake Pork Chops At

For the most tender, delicious pork, we like to cook at a higher heat, as quickly as possible while baking and melting the cheesy stuffing. Bake at 375F.
