Cured Apple/Sausage Stuffed Pork Chops

[cowgirl]

I cured some thick boneless chops with tenderquick for 2 hours....



Made a stuffing by cooking some onion and garlic in butter, adding chopped apples, then browned sausage and seasoned bread crumbs...





Then I rinsed the cure off of the chops and cut a pouch for the filling...



Into my drum smoker with some apple wood...



They smoked at 300 degrees for a little over an hour...



The quick cure makes the chops nice and moist...





Thanks for checking out my chops!

Very nice again jeanie.I will put the quick cure on to do list.

One of those chops would have sure beat my homemade egg salad sandwich for breakfast.

Thanks for sharing the Q-view Cowgirl, the finished product looks out of this world, and the fresh chops look incredibly good too, I'm guessing you raised them yourselves? Very nice ..

Chops look great. What I want to know is, what is that tasty looking dessert sitting next to it.

Those look like Jeanie's famous apple dumplings with caramel sauce.
