I am looking for a recipe for stuffed pork chops using a good home style bread stuffing with apples and dried cherries.  Can this be accomplished in a crock pot?  Thanks for all you recipes and I look forward to trying them this week.

I love stuffed pork chops. I usually make 4. I peel, core and dice an apple and saute it with finely chopped onions and celery (about 1/4 cup of each) in a little butter. I stir in 2 tbsp of orange juice or apple juice. If you don't have juice, you can use broth or wine. I lightly toast a piece of bread and tear it into small pieces. I add the bread, 1/4 cup craisins, salt and pepper to the skillet and stir until all the liquid is absorbed by the bread.


You can use any fruits/veggies you like; dried cherries, figs, raisins, carrots, onion, celery, garlic, etc.


I cut a pocket into each chop and stuff each one with the mixture. I secure with toothpicks. I season both sides of each chop with salt, pepper and garlic powder then brown each side in a skillet with a little oil and butter, then bake in the oven for 45 minutes to an hour at 350. I make a small cut next to the bone to make sure the meat is done.



I don't see why you couldn't cook these in a crock pot. The meat will probably shrink away from the bone some, but they will cook done in a crock pot. They may look more appealing if they are browned in a skillet first. I think I would add about 1/3 cup of broth or juice to the crock pot and cook on low for 4-5 hours.



 



You can stuff the chops the night before, refrigerate them and cook them the next day.

Jason1976, What happened to your post here?  The closest I come to stuffed chops is to layer them with the dressing,Wink I see that you got a recipe, good. When I make mine in the crock-pot, I put a very small amount of water in the bottoem, them the chops, some stuffing and I usually only make two layers, ending with dressing. It works really well.
