Stuffed Pork Chops

Stuffed Pork Chops

4 Thick Cut Pork Chops with Pockets

5 Slices Bacon
1/2 Cup Onion; Chopped
1/2 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
6 Ounce Box Stove Top Stuffing
Marjoram
Salt
Pepper

Prepare Stove Top according to package directions; set aside.

In a large pan fry the bacon until crisp. Remove bacon to paper towel to drain ~ cut into small pieces.

Add chopped onions to bacon drippings and sautee until soft. Reserve bacon drippings. Add bacon, onions & cheddar cheese to stuffing mixture.

Seasone both sides of the chops with marjoram, salt & pepper. Divide & stuff the stuffing mixture evenly among the 4 Pork Chops. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Reheat the bacon drippings over medium heat. Sear pork chops on both sides (careful not to lose stuffing) 1-2 minutes.

I use a wire rack over my cookie sheet to bake the pork chops...My little trick to prevent the stuffing from burning to the pan. WORKS LIKE A CHARM EVERY TIME ;) ~ Cover with Foil and bake on 350 for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving...

Oh, I cheat with the gravy... I either buy a packet of pork gravy and prepare according to package directions or use canned and heat in the microwave.
