Debs Complete Lip Smacking Stuffed Pork Chop Dinner Ingredients: 2 – 3 pork chops about 1 inch thick 3 cloves of fresh garlic 1 Tbs dried Rosemary 2 cups homemade stuffing or 1 box Stove-top cornbread or Pork stuffing (I used Pork Stuffing) salt and pepper Olive Oil Directions: 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Allow the meat to sit out at room temperature for about 20 minutes before you begin. 2. Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket in the pork chops. The best way to do this is to insert the knife in the edge of the meat side of the chop (not the fat side) and cut down to about an inch from the fat side. 3. Season the chops with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Make sure you season both sides of the meat. 4. Pack the stuffing into the pockets. Be sure to stuff them tightly. Secure the outside of the pockets with 3 – 4 tooth picks. 5. Place the pork chops on a wire rack with a drip tray underneath. 6. Pour 2 cups of water into the drip tray. This will prevent the meat from becoming too dry. Alternatively, you place the meat on any kind of tray and place a layer of foil over the top of it. 7. Allow them to bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour. 8. Remove the chops from the oven, and cut them into serving pieces of approximately 3/4 of an inch thick. Note: any extra stuffing can be put along side the pork chops during the last 15 minutes of baking. Serve beside the pork chop. Brown Gravy Ingredients: 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 cup chicken broth 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour pan drippings 1 TBS butter Directions: 1. In the same skillet, cook garlic and thyme in pan drippings over medium heat for 1 minute. 2. Add chicken broth, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. 3. In a small bowl, combine flour and broth until smooth. 4. Gradually add to pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. 5. Remove toothpicks from pork chops; serve chops with gravy.
