Supper clubs elevate American cuisine to a higher class of flavor, and you can taste the difference with the Supper Club Stuffed Pork Chops. Each savory chop is literally stuffed with a crunchy, nutty, and herbaceous filling with apples and melty Gouda. Each chop is then braised in a creamy mushroom soup mixture for maximum tenderness to infuse each bite with an even more savory flavor. Supper Club Stuffed Pork Chops are perfect when served alongside roasted potatoes to help mop up the fantastic sauce so you don’t miss a drop. You certainly won’t want to!
