Stuffed Pork Chops
I love eating pork chops in ALL of the ways. Smothered Pork Chops, French Onion Pork Chops, and of course, these stuffed pork chops. I love that this recipe is so quick and easy, and the stuffing adds so much flavor.
What kind of Pork Chops Are Best to Stuff?
Boneless pork chops of regular thickness work perfectly well for stuffing, no need to purchase the extra thick ones. Use a paring knife to create a pocket into the pork chops that will hold a good amount of filing.
How Long Do You Bake Pork Chops?
Boneless pork chops take 15-20 minutes to bake in a 400 degree oven.
Freezing Stuffed Pork Chops
Stuffed Pork Chops make a great freezer food. Wrap each stuffed/unbaked pork chop in foil and place it in a labeled freezer bag. It’s best to use them within 3 months. When you’re ready to serve them, simply let them defrost in the refrigerator overnight, uncover them, and bake them as instructed in the recipe below!
Using Leftover Stuffing
This recipe is a is a great way to use up leftover stuffing. If you would like to avoid overcooking the stuffing since this is the second time around, I recommend searing the pork chops over medium heat for just a few minutes on each side to give it texture and color. Then stuff them and bake them and bake as outlined.
Storing Leftovers
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container and use within 3 days, or freeze and use within 3 months.
