As summer winds down and kids head back to school, this recipe is the perfect way to step up your dinner game to the next level. It looks and tastes like a gourmet meal, but is simple to prepare.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apple Bacon and Blue Cheese Stuffed Pork Chops<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients
\n<\/span>4 pork chops (boneless or bone in)
\n<\/span>1 large shallot, chopped
\n<\/span>2 cloves garlic, minced
\n<\/span>1 apple, peeled, cored and chopped
\n<\/span>4 slices bacon
\n<\/span>\u00be cup blue cheese, crumbled (feta is also a good substitute)
\n<\/span>1 tbsp. fresh rosemary, chopped
\n<\/span>salt and pepper, to taste<\/span><\/p>\n

Instructions<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Preheat oven to 400 F degrees.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Cut a pocket in each pork chop. Season each pork chop with salt, pepper and rub them with the rosemary. Set aside.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Cook the bacon in a large oven proof skillet. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease in the skillet, and another tablespoon for later, then discard the rest.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Fry the shallot and apple together in 1 tablespoon of bacon grease for about 3 minutes until apple softens. Add garlic and continue cooking for another minute. Turn off heat and add blue cheese to skillet and stir.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Spoon about half a cup of the stuffing into each pork chop.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Add remaining bacon fat to skillet and add heat. Place pork chops in skillet and cook on each side until they start to brown, about 5 minutes per side (depending on the thickness of the chops).<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Place skillet in preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
