Paired with creamy mashed potatoes and cheesy broccoli, this meal delivers comfort and flavor in every bite.

Ingredients You Will Need

To make this flavorful meal, gather the following ingredients:

• Pork Chops (bone-in)

• Badia Complete Seasoning – a blend of herbs and spices that adds depth

• Tony’s Creole Seasoning – for a spicy, southern kick

• Onion Soup Packet – adds savory onion flavor and enhances the chicken’s taste

• Cooking oil – for the Blackstone griddle or skillet

• Broccoli florets – fresh or frozen, for the cheesy side

• Cheese – shredded cheddar or your favorite melting cheese for broccoli

• Potatoes – (honestly I just used instant)

• Salt and pepper – to taste

  
  

These ingredients come together to create a meal that is both hearty and full of flavor without requiring complicated steps or hard-to-find spices.

Preparing the Pork Chop

The key to juicy, flavorful pork chop lies in seasoning and cooking technique. Here’s how to prepare the pork chop perfectly:

1. Season the pork chop generously on both sides with Badia Complete Seasoning, Tony’s Creole Seasoning, and sprinkle the Onion Soup Packet evenly. This combination creates a balanced flavor profile with savory, spicy, and aromatic notes.

   
   

2. Preheat your Blackstone griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Add a light coating of cooking oil to prevent sticking and help develop a golden crust.

   
   

3. Place the pork chop on the hot surface and cook, flipping occasionally to ensure even browning. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The pork chop is done when it reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

   
   

4. Remove the porkchop from heat and let it rest for 3 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist and tender.

   
   

This method ensures the pork chop cooks evenly and stays juicy while developing a flavorful crust from the seasoning blend.

Making Cheesy Broccoli

Cheesy broccoli is a simple side that complements the seasoned pork chop perfectly. Here’s how to prepare it:

• Steam broccoli florets until just tender but still bright green.

• Sprinkle shredded cheese over the hot broccoli so it melts slightly.

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of salt and pepper or a dash of garlic powder.

  
  

This side adds a fresh, creamy contrast to the savory pork chop and creamy mashed potatoes.

Tips for Cooking on a Blackstone Griddle

Using a Blackstone griddle adds a unique flavor and texture to your pork chop. Here are some tips to get the best results:

• Preheat the griddle fully before adding oil and pork chop to ensure even cooking.

• Use medium-high heat to get a good sear without burning the spices.

• Flip the pork chop occasionally to avoid sticking and to cook evenly.

• Clean the griddle surface between batches if cooking multiple pieces to prevent burnt bits from affecting flavor.

  
  

These tips help you make the most of your Blackstone griddle for this recipe.

Serving Suggestions and Pairings

This meal is satisfying on its own but can be enhanced with simple additions:

• A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette adds brightness.

• Warm dinner rolls or crusty bread provide a nice texture contrast.

• A glass of chilled white wine or iced tea pairs well with the spices.

  
  

This combination makes a complete, balanced meal suitable for family dinners or casual gatherings.
