Thanksgiving-Style Comfort Food

How To Make

(Detailed instructions below.)

To make Stuffing Topped Pork Chops, you’ll prepare a box of Stove-Top Stuffing. Alternatley, you could use about 4 to 5 cups of prepared homemade stuffing.

Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and then brown them in some oil. Next, place them in a baking dish and spoon the stuffing on top. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Tips for making Stuffing Topped Pork Chops:

I only use 3 pork chops (large, thick ones) because I like alot of Stuffing in relation to the pork chops, but you can use 4 pork chops for this recipe, especially if they are on the smaller side.
You can use either bone-in or boneless pork chops. I tend to prefer bone-in pork chops. The bone helps prevent the meat form drying out and adds flavor.
I love using condensed cream of chicken soup, but you can use condensed cream of mushroom or celery soup instead.
Using 1/2 a cup of cheese adds just a little cheese flavor. For more cheese flavor, add a full cup.
Mozzarella cheese or even swiss cheese can be used instead of cheddar.

What is the best way to cook pork chops without them drying out?

High-heat frying sears them to a golden brown; and a moderately hot oven (400 degrees F) bakes the pork chops gently enough to keep them from drying out. This "sear-roasting" method is a great way to cook pork chops in the oven: Fry one side to golden brown, then flip, and place the chops directly in the oven.

How do I cook pork chops on the stove top?

When you're frying thin pork chops over medium-high to high heat, 2 to 3 minutes per side is just right for browning and cooking them all the way through. For thicker chops, brown on both sides then check the internal temperature with a digital thermometer. It will take 5 to 6 minutes per side to completely cook them.

How do I cook boneless pork chops on the stove top?

Sear on one side, without moving them at all, until they are nice and golden brown on the first side, about 3-5 minutes. Flip and sear the other side until browned. The easiest way to check if the pork chop is done is to use meat thermometer. When they reach an internal temperature of 135 F degrees they are done.
