Pork chops are stuffed with a traditional bread-based stuffing and baked until tender. This nostalgic dish brings holiday comfort to the everyday table, combining savory meat with a soft, herby filling.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 (3/4 inch) thick pork chops 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons butter 1/4 cup chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons minced onion 2 cups soft bread crumbs
  • 1 (8 ounce) can cream-style corn 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Brown chops, turning once, and transfer to a shallow baking dish. Add water, and cover.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
  4. When chops are almost done, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir celery and onions until onions are translucent. Stir in bread crumbs, corn, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, then spoon stuffing over chops and return to the oven. Bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes more, or until no longer pink in the center.
