Stuffed Pork Chops
Description
This recipe prepares pork chops by creating a pocket in each thick-cut chop and stuffing it with about one-third cup of prepared stuffing. The pork is seasoned with salt and pepper, and any leftover stuffing is placed in the baking pan around the chops. The chops are then topped with condensed cream of mushroom soup, which helps keep the meat moist and adds a creamy, mushroom-flavored sauce.
Baked at 350°F, the chops cook for approximately 35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F to ensure juicy, safely cooked pork. The stuffing inside provides texture and additional savory notes, blending with the mushroom soup topping for a hearty flavor.
Cooking times vary depending on chop thickness and cut, so using a meat thermometer is recommended to avoid overcooking. The method produces a balanced dish where the pork remains tender and the stuffing draws moisture from the soup and meat juices.
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops thick-cut, about 1-inch, boneless
- 1 (6 ounce each) box stuffing mix any flavor, or 2 cups homemade stuffing
- 1 (10.5 ounce each) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare stuffing mix according to box directions. Cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Use a knife to butterfly the pork open and create a pocket for the stuffing.
- Place 1/3 cup stuffing into each pork chop and place in a casserole dish or 9x13 pan. If you have extra stuffing, place in the pan with the pork.
- Season each pork chop with pepper and top with condensed mushroom soup.
- Bake for about 35* minutes or until the pork is cooked and reaches 145°F with a thermometer.
Notes
- Use 1-inch thick, lean, boneless center-cut pork chops for consistent cooking around 35 minutes.
- Thicker pork steaks may require longer baking times; thinner cuts will cook faster.
- Employ a meat thermometer to verify the internal temperature reaches 145°F to prevent overcooking.
