Pork Chops and Stuffing
This is yet another old favorite of mine. I love the way the pork comes out so tender... it's just like cutting butter with a knife!
I may have gotten a little carried away with the massive pile of stuffing on top of the pork chop. I just love the stuffing and I guess my eyes were a little bigger than my stomach (as usual). I had extra breadcrumbs so I made more stuffing than the recipe called for and I split it between 3 pork chops instead of 4.
I actually don't often cook with cans of soup. I would usually prefer to make my own creamy sauce for a recipe that calls for a can of soup. If you go back through the near 200 recipes I have on this site... you will only find ONE other recipe (I think)that calls for a can of soup. Can somebody please find it and report back to me?
Actually, this is a perfect opportunity to kick off the first CONTEST on Janet is Hungry. The first Janet is Hungry reader to locate another recipe on my site that calls for a can of soup and leave it in the comment section wins a PRIZE. The prize will be a copy of one of my favorite cookbooks! I will announce the winner in my post tomorrow (if anyone bothers)...
Pork Chops with Stuffing
4 pork chops
1 tbsp oil
3 cups soft bread crumbs
3 tbsp dried summer savory
1/2 onion, chopped fine
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup water
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 can of water
1. Brown pork chops in oil for a few minutes on each side. Place pork chops in a greased casserole dish that has a cover.
2. In a large bowl, mix breadcrumbs and summer savory. Melt butter in the microwave with the onion. Stir into breadcrumbs. Add water to breadcrumbs.
3. Form breadcrumbs into a ball. Or press into a mold (I used a 3/4 cup measuring cup... but a 1/2 cup or 1/3 cup measuring cup would give you a more reasonable portion of stuffing). Place a ball of stuffing on top of each pork chop.
4. Mix soup with 1/2 a can of water and pour over pork chops and stuffing. Bake for 1 hour at 350F. This is really good served with rice, because you can use some of the extra sauce on the rice.

Janet! That was way too easy....Pork Chop and Rice Bake
Aha! I found two! Chili (tomato) and the Pork Chop and Rice Bake (cream of mushroom)
I think that merits the prize... :)
Plus you save on shipping! :)
Wow! That looks so moist and succulent it almost looks like dessert.
I guess I was too slow...
Great recipe though!
I wish I would have seen this earlier - I remember that Pork Chop and Rice Bake!
Totally droolworthy. My huzbink would be licking the screen on this one!
Hahaha! All those guesses before I got back from school!
I have the same stomach/eyes ratio problems, so it is nice to see someone else has it too!
I am making this tonight for my husband's birthday. He will love it! Especially if I serve it with rice--the more carbs, the better?!
PS Just recently discovered your blog and I don't think I've stopped drooling since. Thanks for the recipes!
Well, I got beat to the punch! Pork chops make me think of my Papa. For some reason, that's what I remember, though Mama doesn't...she remembers steak! Maybe they'll go on sale soon and I can get some.
wow! That is making me drool!

I made this last night. Another incredible dish from Janet! Great work! The whole family loved it! I served mine with white rice, corn and biscuits :-)
Now last night we had leftovers of this great pork chop meal... We took the leftover chops and stuffing and chopped them up into bite size pieces, tossed it with some egg noodles and mixed in some of the leftover drippings from the pan.... pretty good !
Janet, When I read this recipe, I knew I had to try it. I made this recipe for the folks tonight, but I had to adapt it for my dairy allergic son. I had to whip up an alternative recipe for the cream of mushroom then continued on with the rest. GREAT RECIPE! The roasted pumpkin seeds look yummy too!
