Recipe of the Week: Stuffing Pork Chops

Stuffing pork chops are a very homey meal and it was fun having it again after many years.  This recipe was found on AllRecipes.com.  I used a box of stuffing instead of making the bread crumbs myself and added the celery and onions.  

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 6 (3/4 inch) thick pork chops
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup chopped celery
• 2 tablespoons minced onion
• 1 box of stuffing
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Brown chops, turning once, and transfer to a shallow baking dish. Add water, and cover.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
4. When chops are almost done, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir  celery and onions until onions are translucent. Stir in stuffing (follow directions on box) and poultry seasoning. Cook for 5 minutes, then spoon stuffing over chops and return to the oven. Bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes more, or until no longer pink in the center.'
