I have been meaning to post this for a while now.
About 1 – 1/2 weeks ago I made this AMAZING baked stuffed pork dinner. It was so tasty that my husband put in a request to make this on a monthly basis.
I have to be honest, I am not a fan of pork chops, but I like those little pork loins you can buy at the store.
I made six little ones and there was a lot of “stuffing” left over. So when I was done cooking up the sirloins I tossed the stuffing onto the pan, heated through and topped the stuffed pork loins with the apple cheddar stuffing.

Here are a few ideas on what you can serve with this recipe for pork loin chops.
How to Make Stuffed Pork Chops
These stuffed pork chops are so easy to make.
If you find that the pork loin chops are too thick, here is a trick that I use.
I place the pork in a zip top bag and whack it with a heavy bottom pan (a cast iron is perfect) until it’s thin.
See how well it works?
There are two options when it comes to stuffing the pork.
Option 1 (see above). Load a little of the apple cheddar stuffing onto the pork loin, fold and pin with toothpicks.
Option 2 (see above). If the pork loin chops are small, I recommend using two. Make sure you flattened them thin and stack them on each other, closing with toothpicks.
What you need to make stuffed pork loin chips:
- toothpicks
- cast iron pan
- pork loin chops
- red onion
- apple
- cheddar cheese
- poultry seasoning
- butter
- sea salt and pepper

Ingredients
Stuffing
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Pork
- 6 small pork loin chops

- If the pork loin chops are thick, you will want to flatten them for even cooking. To do this place one chop in a bag (or between parchment) and hit it with the cast iron pan until it's thinner.
- Add roughly 1/4 of the stuffing mixture to each of the pork, fold in half and close with toothpicks.Or you can stack two pieces of pork on top of each other (if they're small pieces) and close with toothpicks.
- Preheat a skillet on medium heat and add the butter. When the pan is hot, add the pork and season with salt and pepper.
- Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5-7 mins on each side or until pork is cooked through.
