What's for Dinner?

Ingredients:

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Fry bacon over low heat in cold skillet until crispy, about 15 minutes. Reserve bacon grease in a small bowl.
3. Combine blue cheese and bacon in food processor until bacon is broken down into small bits, 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Cut a pocket into side of each pork chop for bacon and blue cheese stuffing mixture.
5. Measure 1/4 cup blue cheese and bacon mixture and set remaining mixture aside. Stuff pork chops with the ¼ cup bacon and blue cheese mixture.
6. Season each pork chop with ¼ teaspoon kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper.
7. Heat 5 tablespoons reserved bacon grease in cast iron skillet and sear pork chops until lightly golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side.
8. Transfer pork chops to baking sheet or baking dish and roast in preheated oven, about 20 minutes. A thermometer inserted near the center of the pork chop should read at least 145°F (63°C).
9. Remove pork chops from oven and top with remaining blue cheese and bacon mixture and serve immediately.
