Very Moist, flavorful and easy to prepare. I pre-made the stuffing and decided on using a pork tenderloin rather than pork chops as the recipe calls for. Thanks for sharing the great recipe and YES it does work with a tenderloin!!!

Was a little bland for my taste. In the future I would experiment with other spices but it was very moist.

I made this for dinner tonight, and it was excellent. I made this just for one serving, since it was just me. The pork chop I had was weird-shaped and kind of oblong, so I had a hard time stuffing it. I sliced it in the middle and put the stuffing in between the two halves, baking it that way. It turned out great and stayed together during cooking. The stuffing was so flavorful. I just had it with corn on the side. I'll be making this recipe again!
