Very good recipe, we love these!

These pork chops were amazing! I had to improv a bit but it worked out well. Didn't have pepper jack cheese so I used mozzarella instead. Also sauteed shallots with the mushrooms. Really incredible flavor!

My husband gobbled up these pork chops no problem. The only thing I did different was saute onions and peppers with the mushrooms. Excellent!

We LOVED these pork chops--they were so juicy and flavorful! Even though my kids pulled off the cheese and mushrooms, they still really liked the meat. This recipe is a keeper!!
