Cornbread Stuffed Pork Chops With Gravy Recipes

PORK CHOPS WITH CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the parsley, scallions, jalapeno, cornbread, egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl. Cut a deep 2-inch-wide pocket into the side of each pork chop. Stuff the cornbread mixture into the pockets.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet in batches and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet; reserve the skillet. Bake until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil; add the green beans and cook until crisp-tender, 3 minutes. Drain; return to the pot. Add 2 tablespoons butter. Season with salt and pepper; toss.
• Remove the pork from the baking sheet and pour the juices on the baking sheet into the skillet. Sprinkle the flour over the juices; cook over medium heat, whisking, 1 minute. Whisk in the broth, scraping up any browned bits, until smooth and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and 3/4 teaspoon pepper and drizzle over the pork chops. Serve with the green beans.

CORNBREAD STUFFED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Select saute setting on a 3- or 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Adjust for medium heat; add bacon. Cook and stir until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Add onion to drippings; cook and stir until tender, 3-4 minutes. Remove to a small bowl. Stir in stuffing mix, apple, pecans, raisins, 2 tablespoons broth, sage, allspice and bacon. Cut a pocket in each pork chop by slicing almost to the bone. Fill with stuffing; secure with toothpicks., Add butter to pressure cooker. When butter is hot, brown chops on both sides; remove and keep warm. Add remaining 1 cup broth to pressure cooker. Cook 1 minute, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Press cancel., Return pork chops to pan. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 18 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes; quick-release any remaining pressure. A thermometer inserted in pork should read at least 145°. Discard toothpicks before serving.

CORNBREAD STUFFED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Cut a slit through the center of the chops, down to the bone, to form a pocket. (Sometimes you can get butterfly porkchops which work well. Or have the butcher cut the pocket for you.)
• Crumble cornbread roughly into a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
• In a medium saute pan, melt the butter and add onion, celery, peppers, mushrooms and garlic. Saute til soft and lightly browned and most of the liquid is reduced. Add Parsley and herbs, stir and cook about 1 minute more.
• Place the sauteed veggies in the bowl with the cornbread and mix together. You will need to add enough chicken broth or water to moisten. This depends on the amount of liquid in the veggies and the dryness of the cornbread.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Season the chops with salt and pepper inside and out. Place stuffing into the pockets. There will usually be some left over but stuff them pretty full. If you prefer, stuff lightly and then bake the remaining stuffing alongside the chops in a separate oiled casserole during the last 20-30 minutes of cooking time.
• Place stuffed chops in a 9x13 baking dish. Place soup in a small bowl (or use the bowl you mixed the stuffing in) and add a few tablespoons of broth or water to thin it down and then spoon over the chops.
• Bake 1 to 1 1/2 hrs or til tender, check after about an hour. Temp should be 160-165 inside the stuffing. Place the extra pan of stuffing in the oven when the chops start to feel tender.
• Spoon some of the gravy over the chops and stuffing for serving and pass any extra gravy on the side.

• Make a pocket in each pork chop by cutting into side of chop toward the bone. Spoon stuffing mixture into each pocket; secure opening with toothpicks. Sprinkle pork with salt, pepper and remaining 1 teaspoon sage.
• In same skillet, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add 3 pork chops; cook 4 minutes, turning once, until browned. Spray broiler pan rack with cooking spray. Place pork on rack in pan. Repeat with remaining pork chops. Brush chops with oil.
