Buffalo Blue Cheese Crusted Pork Chops

6/18/2015

0 Comments

 
Celebrate grilling season at Kroger – the “go-to” source for all your cookout essentials and fresh cuts of pork, from chops and roasts, to pork tenderloin and ribs!!



I hosted some friends and family for a weekend BBQ a couple weekends ago. They requested ribs so I was happy to oblige! I headed to my local Kroger to pick up pork some baby back ribs. They were meaty, fatty and looked great! 
(fat = flavor)


I fired up the Big Green Egg to 220F and used some hickory wood chunks for smoke. I seasoned the baby back ribs with some Meat Church BBQ rubs and threw them on the smoker. I spritzed them with apple juice every 30 minuted for the first 2-1/2 hours. Then, I wrapped them in some foil along with some brown sugar, honey and "liquid gold". for another 2 2 hours. Finally, I unwrapped them and put them back on the smoker for another hour. 


These were the absolute best ribs that I have ever cooked and the crown was VERY pleased! I

I served these ribs with some jalapeno cornbread and some Parmesan crusted corn on the cob.  

OK, so on with the recipe...

  • 1" thick Pork Chops 
  • 1- 6oz wedge of blue cheese

Smash the blue cheese into crumbles and set aside...



Picture
With your grill preheated, place the pork chops on the grate...



Picture



Brush on the buffalo sauce and cook for approx 5 minutes...


Picture
Picture
Flip the chops and apply more buffalo sauce to the chops...



Picture


Mound on a hefty amount of blue cheese crumbles...
Picture





According to the National Pork Board, pork is done at an internal temperature of 145F. These were still perfect...

The cheese will be soft, but not done yet. 


Now, the fun part...


Picture
Picture
Using a MAPP gas torch, or a creme brulee torch, slowly run the torch over the cheese. Keep the torch moving to avoid burning...



Once the cheese is melted to your liking, drizzle with some more of the buffalo sauce. 


Serve & enjoy!!!
