Now it’s no secret I have been doing Weight Watchers since 2011, I have seen changes from Points Plus Value to Smart Points, and now to Smart Points with Freestyle. While I am bummed pork chopped didn’t change points, it is one of my favorite lean proteins, and it gives me a break from chicken too! I found this Weight Watchers Cuban Pork Chops on a meeting hand out back in 2013, and it is still a family favorite all these years later! (I have included links to some great products that I have bought on my own and we love, or that is on my dream list. You can buy them as well through my online sales links which will earn the site a small commission)
Now, these Weight Watchers Cuban Pork Chops are also on Weight Watchers website -> here as well. I did mine a bit differently and double the marinade in the bag and also added in another seasoning. as well. I have to say it’s one of those few dishes I first worried the kids wouldn’t eat but they loved it and even had seconds!!is a hit with my family I was worried the kids wouldn’t eat it but they loved it!!!

Wow, Jenny, this sounds great. I just started back on Weight Watchers and will definitely try this recipe. Pinned!
Also being on Weight Watchers, am I missing the Nutritional Information or any WW Points?
I only count the points for the weight of the pork after it’s cooked so it will vary based on the size of your pork chops.
What is Cabelas? tried looking it up, asked Alexia and Google said it was a hunting and fishing store?
It is a hunting and fishing store. You can order their spices on their site or sometimes you can find them on Amazon. I go there just for the tequila lime seasoning it’s amazing!
