INGREDIENTS

• Salt and Pepper: Just a little it of salt and pepper is all you need to make sure these pork chops are well-seasoned and filled with enough flavor.
• Pork Chops: You will need four thick-cut pork chops with about a ¾-inch thickness. I like to use bone-in because they are more flavorful and tender.
• Chicken Broth: Use homemade chicken or veggie stock to deglaze the pan with. You can also use storebought, of course!
• Cream of Mushroom Soup: I love to use my homemade cream of mushroom soup anytime I have it on hand or in the freezer. You can also use canned cream of mushroom soup, but in my opinion, homemade is way better. Use different types of creamy soups, it’s also amazing with my homemade cream of celery!
• Milk: Regular dairy milk is what I like to use because it is creamy and rich. Soy milk would be a great dairy-free milk alternative.
• Mushrooms: Canned mushrooms are what I like to use because they are easy and I always have some in the pantry. Of course, you can use freshly sliced mushrooms for this pork chop stuffing bake!
• Stovetop Stuffing: You will need one six-ounce box of Stovetop Stuffing. Prepare the stuffing ahead of time so you can quickly add it to the recipe. Get creative with different flavors of stuffing with herbs or use any leftover homemade stuffing from the holidays! 

HOW DO YOU BAKE PORK CHOPS AND STUFFING? 

First, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil and sprinkle the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. 

Next, sear each seasoned pork chop for six minutes on each side. Be sure the skillet and oil are hot before you add the pork chops. 

ADD CHICKEN BROTH AND CREAM

After that, remove the seared pork chops from the pan and pour the chicken broth into the pan. Then, deglaze the pan and scrape any bits of pieces of the bottom of the pan for extra flavor. 

Add cream of mushroom soup, milk, and mushrooms to the pan and whisk until everything is fully combined.

RETURN CHOPS AND ADD STUFFING

Next, return the seared pork chops to the pan and baste some of the mushroom soup over the tops of each pork chop to make sure they stay tender and juicy as they cook.

Top each pork chop with the prepared stuffing. Cover the pan with foil or a lid so the stuffing does not burn while in the oven. 

BAKE

Next, bake the pork chops in the oven with the stuffing for 25 minutes. Uncover the pork chops and bake for five more minutes so they get a little crispy. 

Finally, serve warm with your favorite side dishes and veggies. Wanna go “full-on comfort mode?”  Serve them with mashed potatoes – heck, the dish has its own gravy already!

Notes

* I love to use my homemade cream of mushroom soup when I make this recipe. If you use homemade, you'll need about 2 1/2 cups.

** Use any flavor of stovetop that you like. I love the sage one when I can find it. This recipe is also a great way to repurpose leftover homemade stuffing.

Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the pork chop. Pork loin chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.

If you don't have a cast iron skillet, prepare in a regular skillet and transfer to a casserole to bake if you like.
