BBQ Pork Chops

I love pork and was looking for something a bit different to do with the chops. Hope you like this.

NEED:
4 medium cut pork chops
1/2 cup of BBQ sauce - flavor of your choice
1/4 cup Orange Marmalade ( optional..but well worth using )
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger

Place pork chops in a sprayed shallow cooking pan. Mix the other ingredients together and spoon over pork chops. Spread to evenly cover the top of each pork chop.

Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes.

*** a great side dish is baked potatoes. Wash the potatoes and make a slice in one side. Wrap with foil and place in the pre heated 400 degree oven while you prepare the pork chops. All will be done at the end of the pork chop cooking time.

ENJOY!

Stuffed Pork Chops

If you buy pork chops already stuffed they cost a fortune. Making them yourself is very easy..and very tasty.

NEED:
4 thick cut pork chops
1 box of stuffing mix...pork flavor
Garlic, pepper and parsley flakes
Panko flakes or bread crumbs

With a sharp knife, carefully, cut through the side of pork chop * meat side NOT bone side) cut as deep to the bone as you can. Cut through the center of the side, leaving the sides intact..so that you form a pocket.

Mix the stuffing mix as directed on the box.

Stuff each pork chop very full. Using your hands works best. You can pack the stuffing in much better with your hands than with a spoon.

Season top of pork chops to your liking. Lightly cover with the Panko flakes or bread crumbs.

Place on a shallow baking pan, that has been sprayed with non stick cooking spray.

Bake for 1 hour at 325 degrees.

ENJOY!
