I have looked at stuffed pork chops in the meat counter a number of times and kept thinking one of these days I’m going to make them. I was searching for recipe and came across this Stuffed Pork Chops Recipe and decided to put it on the menu. This is a simple recipe that doesn’t require a lot of prep time or ingredients. The stuffing is put together using bread crumbs rather than the traditional croutons. I thought this recipe was pretty good, and my wife loved it. The chops came out tender and moist, and the stuffing had a good combination of flavors.
If you have never prepared Stuffed Pork Chops before give this recipe a try. Enjoy
