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.

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.

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 (63 degrees Celsius).
- If you do not have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the pork chops by cutting into them. The meat should be cooked through, with no pink in the center.
- To prevent the pork chops from drying out, cover them with foil before baking.
- For a more flavorful stuffing, use a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onions, and mushrooms.
- You can also add herbs and spices to the stuffing to taste.
- If you are using a store-bought stuffing mix, be sure to follow the package directions for preparation.
- To make the pork chops even more delicious, you can brush them with a mixture of melted butter, garlic, and herbs before baking.
- To easily remove the stuffed pork chops from the baking dish, line the dish with parchment paper before adding the chops.
