Baked Stuffed Pork Chops

Baked Stuffed Pork Chops, delicious pork chops stuffed with seasoned ground meat, or a stuffing mixture.

Recipe Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 to 2 cups favorite prepared stuffing or seasoned ground beef
• 6 double pork chops, slit for stuffing
• 1 tablespoon shortening
• Salt and black or cayenne pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup Heinz 57 Sauce
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 tablespoon flour
  

Directions:

1. Place stuffing in pockets of pork chop and secure with a toothpick or string.
2. In a heavy skillet, brown the chops in shortening; sprinkle with salt and pepper(s).
3. Place chops in a shallow baking pan. Combine the Heinz 57 sauce and water; pour over chops.
4. Cover pan with foil. Bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until chops are tender. For a browner pork chop, you could remove the foil 15 minutes before the end of the cooking cycle.
5. Remove toothpicks before serving. Skim excess fat from sauce; thicken sauce with one tablespoon flour/water mixture. You should have about 1 ½ cups of sauce.
