Stuffed Pork Chops, Southern Style
I got this yummy and relatively simple recipe from Trisha Yearwood’s Food Network Show, “Trisha’s Southern Kitchen”. While I am known to change, tweak and change recipes with relative regularity, this time I didn’t–I went with it exactly the way Trisha made it. Delicious. Now, I would likely tweak it in the future to play with the stuffing ingredients and some of the herbs and flavors in the stuffing and breading, but it is comforting, satisfying, and super good just the way it is.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Using foil, make two rings and place into oven safe baking dish (use cooking rack that fits inside dish if you have it). Spray dish and foil rings with cooking spray.
  2. Melt butter in large skillet. Add onions and saute until translucent. Add breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
  3. Remove skillet from heat. Add egg and parsley to onion and breadcrumb mixture. Mix to incorporate.
  4. Pat dry pork chops. This will help with browning. Cut slit in each pork chop, about 3/4 way through each chop. Fill pocket in each chop with breadcrumb stuffing. Secure each chop with toothpick to help keep stuffing in each chop.
  5. Preheat skillet over medium high heat. Drizzle of vegetable oil. While skillet warms, add flour to separate bowl. Carefully dredge each pork chop to coat with flour. Add pork chops to skillet.
  6. Sear chops for approximately 3 minutes per side, or until nicely browned on each side.
  7. Place each pork chop on top of foil ring. Cover baking pan and bake chops in preheated oven for 1 hour.
  8. Serve with green vegetable and side of your choice, and enjoy the comforting flavors of this home style dish!
Recipe Notes

The tip above from the episode about using the foil rings really worked like a charm.  I have baking racks, but figured I’d be the guinea pig for anyone out there who is doubting whether it works.  It does!  The pork chops were juicy, flavorful, and more than enough for a hungry crowd.  Dinner is served, YA’LL!
