Where is the sausage?
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This tasted great and my 7 year old loved it too! I had a lot of left over stuffing that I put in the bottom of the dish... under the pork chops before I put them in the oven. My only confusion was when to add the sausage. It never told to mix it in. Just cook drain and set aside. ANYONE else see something I missed?? I will make it again.Read more

Just rating the honey chipotle glaze...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I don't have the time for the 1 hr 15 min recipe, so I just scaled it down to a grilled pork tenderloin with the... honey-chipotle glaze. WOW! It was fantastic! I love the sweet with the slightly spicy, it really livened up our weeknight dinner!Read more
