Easy Keto Recipe:

We absolutely love Jalapeno Poppers! I have been having the best time creating new recipes that revolve around this and turning them into tasty main dishes.

Some of our favorites have been Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Chicken Breasts,Jalapeno Poppers Burger Sliders Recipe,Jalapeno Poppers Corn Casserole Recipe and Easy Crock Pot Jalapeno Poppers Chicken Soup Recipe.

Can you tell we really love this flavor? The cream cheese makes it so smooth and creamy and the jalapeño peppers give it a little heat! This creamy mixture is good in just about anything!

If you’re worried about the jalapeno peppers and it being too hot, don’t be! Once you take the seeds out it drastically decreases the heat.

Our kids ate it and absolutely loved it! It’s even better on the grill because it has that yummy flavor you can only get from grilling food. Now, you can bake this dish if you prefer but we love it grilled.

Ingredients:

• Thick cut pork chops
• Cream cheese; softened
• Jalapeno pepper; seeded and diced
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper

How to make Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Pork Chops:

1. First you need to start off by heating an outdoor grill.

2. Next, mix cream cheese, cheddar and jalapeno pepper together in a bowl and mix well. Set aside.

3. Then, cut a large, deep slit into the side of a pork chop. Cut almost all the way through, creating a large deep pocket.

4. Next, spread half of the cream cheese mixture into the pork chop, making sure you press it well into the pocket of the meat. Squeeze the cut end together before wiping away the excess cheese mixture. Repeat for the second pork chop. Drizzle with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper.

5. Lastly, add the pork chops to the grill and grill over medium high heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, flipping once.

Serving Ideas

We like to serve this with brown rice.It’s so simple to cook brown rice in the pressure cooker or you can even cook it in the microwave! Talk about an easy side dish! Add a green salad and you are set! Or try this Creamy Broccoli Salad Recipe. Yum! It’s all so good.

Alternately you can cook these in the oven. Grease a baking dish with cooking spray and place pork chops into the dish. Bake, uncovered, for 40-50 minutes at 400 degrees. While we usually grill, if the weather does not permit I will pop it in the oven.

Instead of using pork chops you can make a stuffed pork loin by butterflying a center cut pork loin and stuffing it with the jalapeno popper mixture! Sear it on all sides on the grill and then cook to an internal temperature of 145 degrees.

I use a small baking dish since it’s just the 2 pork chops and clean up isn’t too bad. Have you seen these gorgeous baking sets from Pioneer Woman? Of course any baking dish will do, but goodness these are pretty. 🙂
