Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly spray a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Make a "pocket" in the chops to hold the filling. Here's a very good video explaining how: Peel the potatoes if you wish. I used white new potatoes so eliminated this step. Slice the potatoes ULTRA thin...so you can read the newspaper through them. For this, I used my box grater--the side that has the "U" shape. Otherwise use a mandolin to accomplish this. You may also substitute frozen shredded potatoes that are thawed if you don't want to bother with the thin slicing. Pat the potatoes to remove excess moisture between paper towels. Place potatoes in a medium bowl. Add the cheeses, salt, pepper and 1 tbs of the melted butter. Stuff each chop with 1/4 of the potato-cheese mixture. Place in prepared pan. Brush with remaining melted butter. Sprinkle lightly with additional salt and pepper. Bake at 400 degrees F for 40-50 minutes. SLOW COOKER METHOD: Proceed as above, except don't prepare a baking dish. Place chops in a 5-7 QT slow cooker. Try to angle the chops with the stuffed pocket angled upward. Cover and cook on HI for 4-5 hrs. Serves 4.

CHEESE-STUFFED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Dissolve 1/4 cup salt and the sugar in 3 cups warm water in a large bowl. Insert a paring knife into the curved side of each pork chop to make a deep pocket, about 2 inches wide. Soak the chops in the brine, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, finely chop the escarole and garlic. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Remove the chops from the brine and pat dry. Fold each cheese slice and tuck into the pocket of a pork chop, then stuff with the escarole mixture. Brush the pork with olive oil, sprinkle with the sage and season with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork in batches, turning once, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add the beans and 1/3 cup water to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits; season with salt and pepper. Return the pork to the skillet, cover and cook over medium heat until no longer pink, 5 to 7 more minutes. Serve the pork with the beans.
