Pork chop recipes - Pork Chops are one of the easiest meats to grill. Personally I won't have one any other way. The secret is to not cook it the way Mom always did. Pork chops should be moist and tender, not cooked to a dry piece of shoe leather. These pork chops recipes do just that, add loads of flavor without overcooking them. You might also want to try stuffed pork chops for something even better.
