Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir in the beaten egg and parsley.
- To cut pockets into the pork chops, insert the point of a small sharp knife horizontally into the fat-covered edge. Move the knife back and forth to create a deep pocket about 1 1/2 inches wide.
- Fill the pocket of each chop with the breadcrumb mixture. Secure the openings with toothpicks.
- Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Dredge the stuffed chops lightly in the flour, shaking off the excess. Wipe out the skillet used previously for the stuffing and place it over medium-high heat. Add the oil and, when hot, add the chops. Sear over medium heat until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side.
- Place a rack in a roasting or baking pan and add water, being careful not to cover the rack with water. Place the chops on the rack and cover the roaster with the lid or aluminum foil. Bake the chops for 1 hour. Let rest, remove the toothpicks and serve.
STUFFED IOWA CHOPS (OAMC)
Taken from the Taste of Home website, this has become a favorite even among those that previously claimed to dislike pork chops. Pretty enough to serve to company, this recipe can be made ahead of time and even frozen. I recommend freezing the sauce separately and adding to chops after they've been in the oven a bit. I also double the sauce and the stuffing mix. People LOVE this. I've frozen this several times with great success. I hope you love this as much as we do.

Steps:
- Cut a large pocket in the side of each chop.
- Brown chops in oil over medium heat.
- In a bowl, combine the corn, apple, bread crumbs, parsley, onion, milk, salt, sage, and pepper.
- Stuff some of the mixture into the opening of each Pork Chop.
- Line the bottom of a greased 13 x 9" baking dish with the leftover stuffing, and lay the Chops on top.
- Combine the sauce ingredients; pour half over the chops and drizzle over the stuffing lining the pan.
- Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for an hour or so until the thermometer reads 160 degrees. Continually baste with the remaining sauce. I do reserve some to drizzle over the chops as they are plated and served.
GRILLED APPLE STUFFED IOWA CHOPS
Steps:
- 1. In saute pan, "sweat" onion, garlic, and green apple in olive oil, salt, ground pepper and margarine. Once onions are translucent, turn off heat.
- 2. Stir in entire bag of Stove Top. Mix well, cover and let sit until at room temp. The Stove Top should pull in the moisture from the apple, onion, butter and oil to create a mix that can be balled up.
- 3. With boning or thin blade knife, cut a slit in the pork chop toward the bone from any spot along the meat or fat edge. This slit should be wide enough to put a finger or teaspoon into, and all the way to the bone. You want to create a "pocket" in the chop to stuff the apple/onion mix in to. Gently widen and deepen the slit with your finger, being careful not to puncture the meat from the inside. Punctures will let the stuffing come out.
- 4. With your hands, stuff the apple/onion/Stove Top mixture into the pork chops. If the mixture is crumbly, add slight amounts of water to moisten. Continue this, dividing the mixture amongst the 6 chops.
- 5. Heat grill to High. Sear pork chops on both sides (a little olive oil on chops will transfer heat and allow faster, more even searing). Then stand pork chops up on bone, turn heat to med-high, and let cook 15-20 minutes, checking frequently to make sure no fires pop up. This step heats that tender meat and stuffing next to the bone that would normally only cook after the rest of the chop dries out.
- 6. After bone is blackening, and appears cooked, lay chops back down and allow 4 minutes per side, 3-4 turns.

STUFFED IOWA STEAKS (PORK CHOPS)
My local butcher used to cut these nearly 2 inch thick gorgeous pork chops. We would slice open the chop to the bone and stuff with a sweet savory sausage stuffing, these thick pork chops are a summer time hit.

Steps:
- Ask your butcher to cut up some inch and half nearly two inch thick bone in pork chops.
- Prepare rub and coat pork chops up to one day before grilling.
- Brown sausage, drain, set aside to cool. Cook down onions in hot oil until slightly brown and translucent. Not looking for the caramelized onions you might put on your burger here. Return sausage to pan, add remaining ingredients for stuffing, heat and then cool to touch.
- Cut center slit in pork chops to the bone, stuff with sausage, onion, fruit mixture. Over stuffing these monsters is okay. A saturated bamboo stick could help hold it together but not necessary.
- Warm marmalade over low heat until slightly liquid form.
- Heat grill to medium high, MOM on a three burner Weber (medium-off-medium) , or about a 7-8 count (hand over heat) for charcoal.
- Grill on indirect heat for 8-10 minutes on first side, flipping and grilling for a remaining 6-8 minutes. This can be one of those times that a fine set of grill marks will pay off big dividends on presentation, so if you're thinking grill marks I am sure you know what to do. When only a few minutes are left coat chop with glaze, being careful not to put on too soon and have sugars burn. Grilling pork can be a personal choice as to when they are done. Because of the moist stuffing, these do not tend to dry out. But with the glaze you can blacken them and give that bitter burnt taste to what was going to be your best meal of summer.
- Check temp of pork chop and remove from heat. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. I might use a tinfoil tent from time to time if I need to stretch out the time before serving.

STUFFED PORK CHOPS I
I got this recipe from a friend and it is awesome! When I want comfort food, this is the one that I turn to. My husband loves it too! We love the stuffing so much I usually double the recipe for the bread crumb mixture, leave everything else the same. For the bread cubes, French bread works best, not sourdough.

Tips:
- To ensure that the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- To prevent the chops from drying out, do not overcook them. Overcooked pork chops will be tough and chewy.
- If you do not have a meat thermometer, you can check the chops for doneness by cutting into one of them. The chops should be cooked through, but still slightly pink in the center.
- To add more flavor to the chops, you can marinate them in your favorite marinade before cooking. However, if you are short on time, you can simply season the chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- To make the chops even more juicy, you can pan-fry them in a little bit of butter or oil.
Conclusion:
Stuffed Iowa chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The chops are stuffed with a flavorful mixture of bread crumbs, herbs, and spices, and then cooked until they are tender and juicy. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish to serve at a dinner party, stuffed Iowa chops are a great option.
