Stuffed Pork Chops

So recently, a lovely gal I work with told me about this heavenly dish they have sometimes for Sunday dinner. Her dad broke it down for me. It's a pork tenderloin stuffed with tasty stuff, wrapped in bacon. They serve it with a tasty gravy :) Well....I decided to try this tasty dish. I just changed it alittle :) And the good thing is...it cost me less than $10 to feed my little family of 3 and some :)

Whatcha need:

4 thick cut pork chops

(i get mine at Costco when they're SUPER cheap and they're roughly 3/4" thick)

1 box of cornbread or poultry flavored stuffing mix (gv-$1)

1/4 C butter for the stuffing

enough butter to brown the chops

Whatcha do:

Preheat the oven to 325 or 350 F. Depending on how tender you want your chops. I do 325 for 1 hour and 30-45 minutes. If you do 350, you only need like 40-45 minutes. Brown those lovely chops. You don't have to cook them all the way through. They will bake for a while :) While the chops are browning, start cooking the stuffing. Just follow the directions on the package! Super easy. NOW~if you wanna get creative and make your own stuffing, you can! Just message me and I'll give the recipe for that part. I'm just too lazy during the week :) Once the stuffing is done and the chops are brown, commence stuffing :) Simply slice the chops and create a pita looking pocket! Stuff the chops until they can't take any more and then stuff them again :) If you are a stuffing friendly family, I'd suggest using 2 boxes. Place the chops in a casserole dish. I add 4 tablespoons or so of melted butter to the dish to add some extra flavor and to prevent sticking. Cover the chops with foil and bake. :)

**OPTIONAL**

Now, if you want a creamy kind of dish, use 1 can of cream of mushroom soup mixed with 1/3 C milk. Pour it over the chops prior to baking.

We went for a healthier approach tonight and just used some apple butter on the side. You can also just top with a brown gravy.

easy dinner!

I have tasty pork chops in our freezer. I wish I was in our freezer! LOL I did not wanna slave over a hot stove or bake today! So, here we go...the simplest tastiest dinner :)

Whatcha need:

3 fairly thick pork chops-you can choose boneless, I did :)

salsa verde-we got La Victoria on sale for $1.95 so I used half a jar.

Just use how ever much you'd like! :)

2 chicken bullion with tomato cubes-you can find these in the

"Hispanic" ethic section of most local grocers

3 Cs water

1 1/2 C rice

Whatcha do:

Slice the pork chops into strips. Brown the chops and then pour in the salsa verde. Cover with lid and simmer. While you're browning the chops, start the rice :) Combine the bullion cubes, rice and water in one pot. Bring to boil and then cover and simmer until rice is done. Once the rice is done, serve the pork chops over rice with the salsa verde! DONE :) I serve them with mais fritters :)
