Creamy Spinach Filling

The filling is a simple combination of chopped spinach, crumbled bacon, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and garlic powder. It adds so much flavor to these pork chops.

Pan-Fried Then Finished In The Oven

A cast iron pan is best to use for this recipe because it can be transfered to the oven. Sear the pork chops until golden on both sides and then transfer to the oven to finish cooking.

Use Thick-Cut Pork Chops

Thick-cut pork chops are best for stuffing. They will not cook too quickly and will stay juicy. I prefer bone-in but you can use boneless.
When Is Pork Done

Pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees. For best results, use an instant read thermometer. Pork gets dry and chewy when overcooked.

Prep Ahead

The filling can be mixed a day in advance and the pork chops can also be stuffed a day in advance. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to cook.

Spinach and Bacon Stuffed Pork Chops Recipe Tips

One clove of minced garlic can be used instead of garlic powder.

Double the amount of crushed red pepper flakes if you want this dish spicy.
