CORNBREAD-STUFFED PORK CHOPS

• Heat oven to 350°F. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat. Cook mushrooms in butter 2 to 3 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat. Add stuffing and broth; stir until liquid is absorbed. Stir in cheese and 2 teaspoons of the sage.
• 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.

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.

APPLE SAGE CORNBREAD-STUFFED PORK CHOPS FOR TWO

Steps:

• Slice into the pork chops horizontally, but not all the way through. (You're essentially butterflying the pork chops and giving them a little pouch.) Set aside.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat up 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the garlic and onion and saute until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes. Add the apple, carrots and celery and cook until softened, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Add in the cornbread, chicken broth and sage leaves, and stir to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool for 10 minutes.
• Carefully spoon the filling into the pork chops. If they become full and you can no longer stuff anymore, that's ok-save the filling to eat on the side. Use toothpicks to secure the chops shut. If the toothpicks poke out, use scissors to trim them flush to the pork chops.
• In the same skillet you used earlier, heat up the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Sear the pork chops, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Turn the heat down to medium and continue cooking, flipping occasionally, until the pork chops have cooked through completely, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm with the additional cornbread stuffing!

CORNBREAD-STUFFED BACON-WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut 3 slices bacon into 1/4-inch wide slices. Cook in medium saucepan over medium-high heat until crisp; drain.
• Carefully pour all but 1 tablespoon grease from pan. Add butter and apple cider; bring to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in cooked bacon, cornbread stuffing mix, apple, cranberries and pecans. If needed, add addition cider to moisten stuffing.
• Place 4 remaining slices of bacon about 2 inches apart down center of 15x10x1-inch baking sheet. Cut down center of tenderloin but not all the way through; lay flat on top of bacon slices.
• Spoon stuffing down center of tenderloin; wrap bacon slices around tenderloin, overlapping on top. Secure with wooden picks.
• Bake 40 to 45 minutes until internal temperature of stuffing reaches 160 degrees F. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

PORK CHOPS WITH CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients; stir in stuffing mix. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish., Sprinkle pork chops with steak seasoning.

Let stand for 5 minutes 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.

CORNBREAD-STUFFED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Use sharp knife to make horizontal cut in side of each chop to make pocket, being careful to not cut through to opposite side of chop. Fill each pocket with 1/4 cup each spinach and stuffing. Close pockets; secure with wooden toothpicks.
• Cook chops in large skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat 2 to 3 min. on each side or until evenly browned on both sides. Add orange juice concentrate; turn to evenly coat both sides of chops with concentrate. Cover; cook on medium-low heat 10 to 15 min. or until chops are done (145°F). Remove from heat. Let stand 3 min.
• Meanwhile, cook gravy in saucepan on medium heat until heated through, stirring occasionally.
• Remove and discard toothpicks from chops. Serve topped with gravy.
