Baked Stuffed Pork Chops And Pan Gravy Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In bowl, combine bread crumbs, butter, egg, and corn. Mix until it is a stiff stuffing. Cut parallel into each chop to create a pocket. Stuff each pork chop with stuffing mix. Place chops in a cooking dish and then pour mushroom soup over top. Bake for about 45 minutes or until chops are cooked all the way through.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a skillet, heat the oil and brown the pork chops. Place the pork chops in a baking dish.
• In a bowl, toss the bread cubes, melted butter, chicken broth, celery, onion, and poultry seasoning together. Put heaping mounds of the bread crumb mixture onto the pork chops.
• Combine the cream of mushroom soup with the water, and pour this mixture over the stuffing and pork chops.
• Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
• Uncover and continue baking for 10 minutes longer or until juices run clear. The meat thermometer should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• To prepare pork chops for stuffing, make a 2-inch-wide slit on edge of chop opposite the bone and cut into center, making a deep enough pocket to hold stuffing in the middle of each chop. Set aside.
• To make stuffing, saute minced onions, bacon, celery, spinach and apples in butter until onions look translucent. Add chicken broth and poultry seasoning and bring to a boil. Add raisins and cook 3 minutes, or until soft. Remove from heat. Add croutons, or stuffing mix, stir, season with salt and pepper and set aside until cooled to room temperature.
• Divide stuffing into four equal portions and stuff pork chops. Season stuffed chops with salt and pepper and dust with flour.
• In a pan large enough to hold the 4 chops, heat oil on medium high heat and brown the chops (about 2 to 3 minutes on each side), then reduce heat to medium. Add chicken broth, julienned onions, and mushrooms. Bring to a boil, then cover with foil, or an oven-proof lid, and bake in 350ºF oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove pork chops when done and keep warm while making pan gravy.
• Place pan with drippings on medium heat and skim off fat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Thicken with cornstarch/water mixture by adding gradually until gravy reaches the consistency you like.

Steps:

• Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium high heat and saute the chopped onion and celery, stirring, until onion is golden, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Gently stir in bread cubes. Add parsley, raisins, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, marjoram and pepper; toss lightly to combine. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350°F Trim excess fat from chops, reserving the fat. Using a sharp paring knife, cut a pocket in each chop, all the way to the rib. Fill each pocket with 1/4 cup stuffing; fasten together with a couple of toothpicks.
• Mix together the 1/4 cup flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Lightly coat the pork chops on both sides with flour mixture, reserving remaining seasoned flour for gravy.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter and reserved pork fat in a large skillet. Over low heat, cooking 3 at a time, brown chops well on both sides, turning with tongs, 8-10 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove each batch of browned chops to paper towels.
• Pour off fat from skillet, and add apple juice, white wine, cider or a combo of liquids to skillet. Stir over medium heat to dissolve browned bits. Pour into the bottom of roasting pan. Stand chops bone-side down in bottom of pan. Cover with foil and bake in preheated oven 1 hour.
• Uncover and bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until tender. Remove chops to platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
• Optional Gravy: Over medium heat boil drippings, uncovered, until reduced to 1 cup. Dissolve reserved flour mixture in 1/2 cup of water. Add to drippings and bring to a boil, stirring; simmer 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings. Strain if necessary. Serve with chops.
