Good Shepherd™ Smoked Pork Chops - Casa M Spice Co

Good Shepherd™ Smoked Pork Chops

It's true! Good Shepherd™ was made with lamb in mind, but as we have (hopefully) all learned, Casa M Spice Co™ blends are versatile enough to pair perfectly with far more than what they were originally designed to compliment. To that end, in this recipe we show off our Good Shepherd™ rub on boneless pork chops. This is one of those super simple recipes that requires very little planning (other than getting good chops to start with). Remember that Good Shepherd™ and Uncontrolled Good Shepherd™ are both very low in salt content, so we salt first, then rub, then smoke, and finally sear on the charbroiler. The end result is a batch of succulent chops with great smoke on them and flavor that you won't believe until you taste it. Casa M Spice CoⓇ has created Good ShepherdⓇ as a seasoning for lamb, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be used on all of your favorite meats. How about trying Good ShepherdⓇ on boneless pork chops? The blends at Casa M Spice CoⓇ were designed to complement the meats but also be versatile. You can get delicious smoked pork chops with great flavor by using Good ShepherdⓇ. Pick up a pack today and give it a try at your next family barbecue!#SpiceConfidently #EssenceOfFlavor #CasaMSpice
