Not Really Stuffed-Stuffed Pork Chops

Jellyqueen's Note:

ATTENTION: Several reviewers have had to add additional water to make this recipe work. I decided not to change the recipe itself, because I was afraid that it would confuse others who may be reading the reviews. Please take the time to read the reviews to see comments on additional liquids....thanks!!! This is a recipe that I got out of the cookbook Aunt Paula sent to me in the cookbook swap. I made a few minor changes to make the recipe work for me and DH. I did change the name from Mom's Stuffed Pork Chops to the name I chose because they are really not stuffed, but you have the same effect. Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did.

My hubby and I really enjoyed this easy to make dish! I didn't use the boullion granules - I didn't want it too salty with the stuffing mix I used instead of the breadcrumbs.

Turned out FAB & not at all fiddly the way cutting & stuffing can be. Used chicken base & 1 1/2 cups Chateau St. Michelle Chardonnay to deglaze the browning pan therefore left out the milk. Also added about a tablespoon of "organic" poultry seasoning (hey, it's what they had at Costco) & a bit of crumbled sage. Baked tightly covered in foil @ 400 degrees (had sweet potatoes roasting at the same time) for 30 minutes. Tender & satisfying - those really lean loin chops can be dry at times - not like this! Served with roasted sweet potatoes, sour cream & sauteed apples finished with some Demerara sugar & Calvados. Mmmmm, delicious quick dinner for one of our first chilly nights! Thank you Jellyqueen for a great dinner suggestion I will remember to use again! (BTW isn't the 1/2 cornbread & 1/2 herbed bread combo simply the best?)

This is a great recipe. The pork chops were very moist. I did add garlic to the onions and cooked them a little bit. Since I didnt have any celery, I used the celery salt. Next time Im going to use stuffing instead of the breadcrumbs.
