This has been one of my son's favorite dishes since he was a little boy. It's something my mother always made and since he loved it so much, I made it a lot also. These stuffed pork chops just seem like fall and cooler weather to me. I guess it's the stuffing and the fact that they have to bake in the oven for an hour so we don't make them much in the hot summer months here.
This is a actually a simple recipe, but if you serve it for company or a special occasion they will think you really fussed over it. The main trick to this is learning to butterfly your own chops. You can buy them butterflied already, but you will save so much money if you do your own and you can control the thickness of the cut also.
This will make about 8-9 stuffed chops. If you don't need that many for one meal, you can freeze half of them for future use. Just make two dishes and under bake the one you are freezing by about 15 minutes. Then when you reheat it in the oven and it won't be dry. Here is what you will need:
3-4 lb pork loin cut in 1" chops and then butterflied or 8-9 butterfly cut chops
1 box stuffing mix for pork (with ingredients required for preparing)
1/2 stick butter
salt
black pepper
seasoned salt
1 cup apple juice, divided


Oh yum! That looks so good. We haven't had pork chops in ages! I will put it on my shopping list. And your plate - I just love that pattern. I think it's called English Country Rose or something like that.
ReplyDeleteThe China is Royal Albert Old Country Roses and the pork chops look divine. Would be great with fried apples. Mmmm
DeleteSweet Tea! I'm going to post these on Maisy's Pie Company page, as well as try the recipe! I'm so excited- they look wonderful! ~Vonnie
ReplyDeleteThis is the best receipe. Before I could Ben start on my plate, my family of four had devoured theirs! I guess they lived it. My husband said it is the best meal I have cooked in a while. Thank you for sharing it. I look forward to more!
ReplyDeleteI am going to try looks easy.
ReplyDeleteMy husband's favorite and I haven't made it for a while! I think stuffed Pork Chops is now on our menu for this week:)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE the way that you take the time to explain the recipe so well to us! I'm not the greatest cook, by no means, and this is very helpful to me! Thank you! I can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteThese sound great but how does one get pork gravy...are there enough drippings in the roasting pan?
ReplyDeleteI have another recipe, that is easy and good.
ReplyDeleteTwo cans of good apple pie filling on bottom of 9 X 13 pan
Stove top over the apples
Pork chops on top of the stove top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with foil and bake for an hour. SO GOOD! Not to mention easy.
I have never fixed anything stuffed before, but this sounds really good. How do you "seal" the stuffing into the pork chop? Or do you just stuff it and leave the chop "unsealed"?
ReplyDeleteI just fixed these for my three year old son and myself....they turned out GREAT! I'm not sure if I enjoyed them more or if he did! Great recipe. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so great to hear, Johnna. I love when it's something the kids really like and will eat! This was my son's (now 24) favorite meal when he was not much older than your son.
ReplyDeleteI will be trying this out it looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteThis receipe sounds so yummy, and looks easy to make. I have not had stuffed pork chops in years, but I am definitely going to try this one.
ReplyDeleteFor easy gravy without the fuss of making it yourself but want the homemade flavor, I use Heinz gravy in a jar. There are several kinds, chicken, roasted chicken, turkey, pork and beef. They are all good but my favorite is the turkey, chicken or pork.
ReplyDeleteI have been making these for years....even as a "company" dish. Love them! Serve them with applesauce or cranberry sauce.
