- 1/3 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup chopped cooked bacon
- 1/4 cup Annie's™ organic sweet & spicy barbecue sauce (from 12-oz bottle)

Instructions

Step1Heat oven to 450°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray, or line with cooking parchment paper.
-
Step2In thick side of each pork chop, cut a slit about 2 inches deep and 3 inches long to form a pocket (do not cut in half.) In small bowl, mix cheese, bacon and 4 teaspoons of the barbecue sauce. Spoon generous tablespoonfuls cheese mixture into each pocket; pinch edges of pork together, and secure with toothpick.
-
Step3Sprinkle both sides of pork with salt and pepper. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook pork chops in oil 1 to 2 minutes, turning once, just until lightly browned. Place pork chops apart on pan.

Step4Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of pork reads 145°F. In small microwavable bowl, microwave remaining barbecue sauce covered on High 45 to 60 seconds or until heated through.

Step5Before serving, remove toothpicks from pork chops. Brush chops with warm barbecue sauce; garnish with green onion. Serve with mashed potatoes.
