Grilled Pork Chops Stuffed With Bacon And Smoked Gouda
Ingredients:
2 ounces smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

2 - 2 and 1/4 inch thick center-cut, bone-in pork chops

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
In a small bowl, combine the cheese, bacon, parsley, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.

With a sharp knife held parallel to the board, cut a pocket into the pork, going all the way to the bone, but leaving the sides intact.
Stuff cheese mixture into pocket.

Brush meat with oil.
Season with salt and more black pepper.
Lightly oil the grill grate.
Grill over medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes on each side, or until pork is done.
