Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 °F (200°C).
- Season both sides of each pork chop with the onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Slice a pocket into each chop about 3/4 quarter of the way through, being careful not to cut all the way.
- To make the dip: squeeze and discard excess liquid out of the spinach. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the spinach, cream cheese, sun dried tomatoes, mozzarella, parmesan, herbs and garlic; mix well to combine.
- Fill pork 'pockets' with 1-2 tablespoons of the spinach dip, spreading evenly with the back of the spoon; seal with toothpicks.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet or non stick pan over medium-high heat. Sear chops in batches until golden on both sides (about 3 minutes per side) until golden.
- Transfer chops to HOT oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until no longer pink in the centre. (Internal temperature of 150°F or 65°C with an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a pork chop.)
- Let pork chops rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve.

MUSHROOM-STUFFED PORK CHOPS WITH VERMOUTH SAUCE
Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F and arrange a rack in upper third.
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and put on a cutting board. Using a small paring knife, cut a 2-inch opening horizontal to the cutting board, halfway up the meat in each chop. Move the knife back and forth in a fan motion to open the interior of the pocket without significantly widening the opening. (You don't want to pierce through the meat but simply create a pocket for the stuffing.) Brush the exterior of the chops with oil, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste, and set aside until the stuffing is ready.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the shallots and cook until softened. Add the mushrooms, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook, stirring rarely, until browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley and remove to a plate to cool slightly. Wipe out the frying pan and return it to the stove over medium-high heat. Taste the stuffing and adjust the seasoning, as necessary. Stuff half of the mushroom mixture into the pocket of each chop. If the filling is falling out, secure the chops closed with toothpicks.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, arrange the stuffed chops in the pan and cook until browned, about 4 minutes. Flip the chops to the other side and transfer the pan to the oven. Bake until the pork is cooked and an instant-read thermometer, inserted into the center of the chops, registers 160 degrees F, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and set the pork aside on serving plates to rest. Return the pan to the stove over medium heat and add the vermouth. Cook, scraping the bits from the bottom of the pan with a spatula, until the alcohol smell is cooked off and is slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat, add the butter, and let it melt. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning. Drizzle the sauce over the chops and serve with a gratin, mashed potatoes, or polenta, if desired.
BACON-STUFFED PORK CHOPS WITH CREAMY BALSAMIC SAUCE
This is a recipe I made up after not finding what I wanted. My wife and family enjoyed it, so I wanted to share it. It makes a lot of sauce. I usually serve this over buttered egg noodles.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Lay a pork chop flat on your work surface. Use the tip of a sharp boning or paring knife to create a pocket by making a slit in the side; repeat with remaining pork chops.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat; add bacon bits, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, onion, 1/2 teaspoon mustard, and 1/2 clove garlic. Cook and stir until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Allow stuffing to cool, 5 to 10 minutes. Stuff into pork chops and secure with 2 crossed toothpicks.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown pork chops, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking dish, reserving drippings in skillet. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until pork chops are no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
- Heat reserved drippings in the skillet over medium heat. Add 1 clove garlic, balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon mustard; simmer until reduced, about 5 minutes. Stir in sour cream. Coat pork chops with sauce.

STUFFING-FILLED PORK CHOPS WITH CREAM SAUCE
It's taken me about 3 tries to get this right. This one is the savory version. I plan on making a sweet version as well. A couple of people have suggested using a pork tenderloin and rolling or wrapping it around the stuffing, I haven't tried it, you may ;)

Steps:
- Prepare the stuffing: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and sauté the onions, garlic, celery, bell pepper, and mushrooms over medium heat until the vegetables have softened (about 10 minutes).
- Stir in parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper, mixing until well combined.
- Toss with bread cubes gently.
- Add liquid until bread cubes are just barely mushy on the outside (you may not need the whole 1/4 cup liquid, or you may need a little more).
- Stuff the pork chops: Slice pockets into the pork chops toward, but not quite reaching, the bone.
- Stuff each pork chop and seal with toothpicks (I jam pack the stuffing in there, feel free to do the same).
- Sauté the pork chops in 2 tablespoons butter for about 5 minutes per side, until browned.
- Remove toothpicks and set pork chops in a casserole or other baking dish that will hold them.
- If there is any stuffing left over, you may mound it on top of the pork chops.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and add all the vegetables.
- Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, until all the vegetables are tender and the onions are translucent.
- Lower heat to medium and sprinkle with flour.
- Cook, stirring constantly, for about a minute.
- Whisk in the milk, scraping the pan as you go to get up all the flour.
- Cook, whisking often, until mixture begins to boil and thickens to a slightly thicker consistency than heavy cream.
- Immediately remove pan from heat and stir in cheddar cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour sauce over the pork chops.
- Prepare the topping: Stir the breadcrumbs into the butter until well combined.
- Sprinkle topping over the pork chops.
- If you're daring, lightly sprinkle the top with some very very finely grated cheddar cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is browned and the sauce is bubbly.
- Let stand for about 10 minutes unless you like third degree burns in your mouth.
- Enjoy!

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.

STUFFED PORK CHOPS IN MUSHROOM CREAM SAUCE
These chops are stuffed with mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. They are lightly pounded to tenderize and cooked in a mushroom cream sauce with white wine. Serve with buttered egg noodles. This dish is inspired by an episode of Lidia's Italy (she made veal chops) that my husband saw. As you may know (or experience with your own DH) he didn't remember the ingredients or cooking times, but he wants what she made!
