   In a large mixing bowl, generously season your pork chops on all sides with adobo seasoning, sazón seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.

   Once it’s bubbling, stir in the stuffing mix, cover the saucepan, and take it off the heat.

6. Step 6

   Let it sit for about 5 minutes, allowing the stuffing to soak up all that delicious water.
