    These Stuffed Pork Chops are the perfect company meal. They cook for an hour and a half, so you can enjoy your guests while this delicious meal cooks!

    This is one of the first recipes I ever made when I welcomed guests into my first home. And it has been a favorite ever since. If you've ever wondered what to do with those delicious looking, extra-thick pork chops at the meat counter, try this! Just cut a slit and spoon in the savory stuffing. Then brown them on each side and lay on top of a brothy vegetable mixture for a satisfying and beautiful dinner.

    Serve these Stuffed Pork Chops with some roasted potatoes and a green vegetable for the perfect dinner. If you want to serve wine, try a Pinot Noir or Côtes du Rhône for red; or if white is preferred, a Sauvignon Blanc would pair nicely.

    Let us know if you enjoy this Gr8 recipe as much as we do!

    • 1 cup whole kernel corn
    • 1 egg, room temperature, lightly beaten
    • ¼ teaspoon dried sage
    • ⅛ teaspoon dried basil
    • ⅛ teaspoon ground thyme
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Pork Chops

    • 6 pork loin rib chops, bone-in, about 1 ½-inches thick

    • ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    • 1 bay leaf

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 325ºF.

    Stuffing

    • Melt the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat.
    • When the foam subsides, add ¼ cup of the onion and ¼ cup of the celery and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
    • When the onion and celery are tender remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the bread, corn, beaten egg, sage, basil and thyme. Combine well.
    • Add salt and pepper to taste, about ½ teaspoon of salt and ⅛ teaspoon of pepper.

    Stuffing and Cooking the Chops

    • Using a sharp knife, cut a slit horizontally in each pork chop to form a pocket for the stuffing. Cut almost to the bone.
    • Put ⅙ of the stuffing mixture into the pocket of each chop.
      Stuffed Pork Chops
    • Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops.
    • Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel (carefully!), then re-heat over medium-high heat.
    • Cut a piece of fat from a pork chop and rub over the bottom of the hot pan to grease well; then discard the fat.
    • Add the chops, a few at a time, to the skillet and cook until browned on both sides, turning only once. Remove and continue cooking the remaining chops. Adding more fat from the chops as necessary.
    • In a roasting pan, or 13"x9" pan, mix the beef broth, carrots, freshly ground pepper, bay leaf and the remaining onion and celery.
    • Lay the browned, stuffed pork chops on top of this mixture in the roasting pan.
    • Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake for ½ hour. Turn the chops, re-seal the foil over the pan and cook for an additional hour, until fork tender.
    • Place chops on a platter and spoon some of the vegetable mixture over the top.
    • Remove the bay leaf, and serve the liquid separately as a sauce for the chops.
