- To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, which should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
- If you don't have a smoker, you can cook the pork chops in a preheated oven at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
- For a crispy crust on the pork chops, sear them in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes per side before smoking or baking.
- To make the cornbread stuffing ahead of time, prepare it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the stuffing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat the cornbread stuffing, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the stuffing for 20-25 minutes, or until it is heated through.
