Living in Texas, where summers get warm, I do a lot of cooking on the grill. I think you'll enjoy the one-of-a-kind combination of stuffing and sauce in these zesty chops.
SERVINGS: 4
CATEGORY: Main Dish
METHOD: Grill (gas or charcoal)
TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup medium picante sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 pork chops (1 inch thick)
- 1/2 pound bulk hot pork sausage
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup prepared zesty Italian salad dressing
Directions:
Combine picante sauce, honey and Worcestershire sauce; stir until honey is dissolved. Divide the sauce into two small bowls; set aside.
Cut a deep slit in each chop, forming a pocket. Stuff with sausage; secure with toothpicks. Sprinkle chops with garlic powder and pepper. Brush each side with Italian dressing.
Grill, covered, over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side. Grill 10-15 minutes longer or until meat juices run clear, basting twice with sauce from one bowl. Remove toothpicks. Serve with sauce from the second bowl. Yield: 4 servings.
