Gloria's Baked Stuffed Pork Chops

Ingredients

• 4 pork chops (you'll find this dish more flavorful if you use chops with bones)
• 1 tsp butter
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 7 oz. herb seasoned stuffing mix
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1/2 cup white wine
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Heat the butter and oil together over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Brown both sides of the pork chops and then remove them from the pan. To the same pan, add the onion and celery. Saute vegetables 3-5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the seasoned stuffing mix, chicken broth, and applesauce. Stir to combine and taste for seasoning. Remove the pan from the heat.

Mix together the mushroom soup and white wine. You can skip the wine, but it will make a difference in the end result. Trust me! Place the pork chops in a baking dish and pour the sauce around the chops. Spoon the stuffing mix on top of the pork chops.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45-50 minutes, until the pork chops are cooked through and the sauce is bubbly. Serve with your favorite vegetable and watch your family gobble it all up!
