YIELD: 8 servings.

Ingredients

  • 1 package (6 ounces) pork stuffing mix
  • 3/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
  • 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
  • 1/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1 cup shredded smoked Gouda cheese
  • 1 small apple, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  • 8 boneless pork loin chops (6 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Minced fresh chives or parsley, optional

Instructions

  • 1. Prepare stuffing according to package directions; cool slightly. In a small bowl, mix seasonings. In another bowl, whisk soup and milk until blended.
  • 2. Stir cheese, apple and pecans into cooled stuffing. Cut a pocket horizontally in the thickest part of each chop. Fill with stuffing mixture. Brush outsides of chops with 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle with seasoning mixture.
  • 3. In a Dutch oven, heat remaining oil over medium heat. Stand pork chops in pan, stuffing side up and spacing evenly. Pour soup mixture around chops; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 35-40 minutes or until pork is no longer pink and a thermometer inserted in stuffing reads 165°.
  • 4. Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes. Transfer chops to a serving dish. Spoon sauce over top. If desired, sprinkle with chives.
