Butterflied Cuban Stuffed Pork Chops - Oh My....

I can't even tell you how long I've wanted to do this cook. If I'm not mistaking, this is my third cell phone I've re-saved the recipe to. With all the pork chop cooks lately this recipe was on!
The chop that almost got away.... until tonight.
I started out with seasoning the chops with Dip Stix - Mary's Favorite rub. (Highly recommend this rub) The pork chops were stuffed with: Muenster cheese, pepperoni slices, ham, sandwich pickle, and coated with a mustard glaze on the outside.
These were hands down the best pork chops I've ever ate. I'm super judgmental and a hard critic on myself when cooking but these were just soooooo right. Not trying to sound super conceited or anything but these are a winner! I was planning on only eating half the pork chop but only remembered when I was finishing off the last few bites. Oops my bad. For the sides I grilled up some cheesy pickles. Seasoned the pickles with Oak Ridge Habanero Death Dust. Once plated I drizzled the pickles with bbq sauce. Took some pics along the way.

Holy crap! That's genius. How long did you cook them and how did you determine they were done. I'm thinking with a boneless pork loin cut into relatively small pieces, this could be the tailgating food of the year. Breadless Cuban pork loin sliders. Is there any reason that wouldn't work?

Cheese, ham, pepperoni, with a sandwich pickle. It's a great and easy recipe.

I doubled the amount of glaze and used a hot mustard along with the dry mustard ingredient

I did a road trip with some buddies a few weeks ago and we hit up a KFC buffet along the way. I use to have KFC every so often as a kid but probably have gone 15+ years without stopping in one. So I was excited to get my fix with all the great memories I had attached with it as a kid. Man oh man was I disappointed! Everything was so dried out with little flavoring. I enjoyed the coleslaw but can't say much else. Maybe it was just that location. I'm interested in checking out what this double down is all about!"The pig is an amazing animal.

That is awesome...and low carb! I'm off bread for a while so this is high on my list!Double down:Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

@Proser
I had the egg going at 350 and flipped the chops every 4 minutes or so until done. I wasn't sure if the mustard glaze would burn so I kept turning them. The heat didn't seem to bother the glaze any. Definitely give it a try. I'm tempted to try this recipe again in the smaller bone in chops."The pig is an amazing animal. You feed a pig an apple and it makes bacon.

@Foghorn I was thinking the same thing this morning. It should work the same with a pork loin. Probably be cheaper than buying individual chops and doing it. Worth a shot trying anyway!
I flipped every 4 minutes and used my Thermapen to check when done. The chops took around 15 minutes with the egg stabilized at 350. The reason why I flipped every 4 minutes was because I wasn't sure if the mustard glaze was going to burn. Give it a go. You won't be disappointed!"The pig is an amazing animal.

Thanks for the pic of the double down. My arteries hurt just looking at it!
I definitely recommend giving this a try. It really is good. Great combination of flavors and with no bread! Win-win!"The pig is an amazing animal. You feed a pig an apple and it makes bacon. Let's see Michael Phelps do that" - Jim Gaffigan

Keep cooking stuff like that and not waiting, Dagum That's Awesome. I made homemade cubans awhile ago but I like the breadless one much, much better.

It only took 3 years to remember. :-O. This cook actually reminded me that I have corned beef in the freezer yet for Ruben sandwiches. Also want to do some ribs with the sauce you gave me.
