Brenda's Stuffed Pork Chops

Very good!

Ingredient

Food ration :

4 servings

2 tbsp

thick-cut (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches) pork chops for stuffing (about 2 to 2 1/2 pounds total)

1 small

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F.

* Step 2

Cook bacon over medium heat till almost crisp. Add onion and cook till soft. Add garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, 1 minute. Add spinach, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper and the Italian seasoning; cook, stirring, just until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.

* Step 3

Remove the spinach mixture to a medium-size bowl; let cool completely. When cool, add the provolone cheese and egg; gently stir to combine completely.

* Step 4

Place the pork chops on a flat work surface; cut a slit horizontally to the bone so chop can be opened like a book. Stuff each chop with 1/4 of the stuffing. (If freezing, wrap each chop tightly in freezer wrap, without toothpicks; freeze up to 1 month.) Secure chops with toothpicks.

* Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet. Add chops; cook 2 minutes per side or until browned.

* Step 6

Place chops in single layer in a baking dish just large enough to hold them. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.

* Step 7

Bake the chops in the oven for 15 minutes or until the internal temperature registers 155°F on an instant-read thermometer when inserted in the pork. Remove chops to a platter; cover with foil. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes in warm place before serving
