Pork chops are a versatile and flavorful cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. One classic Southern dish is pork chops with cornbread stuffing. This hearty and comforting dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The pork chops are seasoned and pan-fried until golden brown, then topped with a savory cornbread stuffing. The stuffing is made with cornbread crumbs, celery, onion, and herbs, and it is cooked in a flavorful broth. This dish is often served with mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy.
The article includes two recipes: one for the pork chops and one for the cornbread stuffing. The pork chop recipe is simple and straightforward, and it can be easily adapted to your own taste. The cornbread stuffing recipe is a bit more complex, but it is well worth the effort. The stuffing is moist and flavorful, and it perfectly complements the pork chops.
Whether you are a seasoned cook or a beginner, you are sure to enjoy this classic Southern dish. So gather your ingredients and get cooking!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and top with a cooling rack.
- Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops liberally with salt and pepper. Combine the buttermilk and hot sauce in a large mixing bowl. Put the pork chops in the buttermilk mixture, being sure that all 4 are submerged. Set aside to rest for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, put the cornbread crumbs into a shallow dish.
- Pour the vegetable oil into a large (10-inch) cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan. Clip a deep-frying thermometer to its side and heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
- Lift a pork chop out of the buttermilk by its top bone using tongs, and allow any excess to drip off. Lightly dredge both sides of the pork chop in the cornbread crumbs. Carefully lower the coated chop into the hot oil. Repeat this process with a second chop. Cook the chops until crispy on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Gently turn the pork chops and fry until golden brown, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the crispy chops to the prepared cooling rack. Sprinkle the chops with additional salt and transfer to the oven to stay warm while the remaining chops are fried. Repeat this process with the remaining pork chops.
- For the white gravy: Reserve 2 tablespoons of skillet oil for the gravy, then drain the remaining oil from the skillet, being sure to remove any bits of fried cornbread left behind. Add the butter to the skillet, pour in the reserved oil and heat over medium heat until the butter melts. Sprinkle in the flour, whisking, and cook until a smooth paste is formed, about 1 minute. Pour in the milk, whisking continuously. Cook, whisking occasionally, until a thick sauce is formed and the gravy coats the back of a spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the hot sauce and season the gravy with salt and pepper as desired.
- Transfer the crispy pork chops to a serving platter. Spoon the white gravy over the chops and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.

The name is a bit misleading...this isn't the regular chop/stuffing dish. These chops are covered in a brown sugar/mustard glaze. I would recommend precooking the onion and celery before it goes into the oven though..unless you like it a bit crunchy?!

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the chops stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Brine the pork chops: Brining the pork chops in a simple solution of salt, water, and sugar will help to tenderize the meat and keep it moist. You can brine the pork chops for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Use a flavorful stuffing: The stuffing is what really makes these pork chops special. Be sure to use a stuffing that is packed with flavor, such as the cornbread stuffing recipe included in the article.
- Cook the pork chops properly: Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to ensure that the chops are cooked through but still remain juicy.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: After cooking the pork chops, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful pork chops.
Conclusion:
Pork chops with cornbread stuffing is a classic Southern dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. The combination of tender pork chops, flavorful stuffing, and savory gravy is simply irresistible. With a little planning, you can easily prepare this dish at home for your family and friends.
