Who’d ever guess baked stuffed pork chops could be so simple? Baby spinach and stuffing mix are the secrets to this elegant recipe. —Rebecca Nossaman, Ballwin, Missouri

Ingredients

8 boneless pork loin chops (1 inch thick and 8 ounces each)
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup butter, cubed
5 cups fresh baby spinach
1 package (6 ounces) sage stuffing mix
1-1/2 cups sour cream
1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning

Directions

Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket in each pork chop. In a large skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Add spinach; cook until wilted. Stir in the stuffing mix, sour cream and sage.
Fill each chop with about 1/3 cup stuffing mixture; secure with toothpicks if necessary. Place on a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Sprinkle with lemon pepper.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. Discard toothpicks.

Test Kitchen Tips

Three ounces (a serving the size of a deck of cards) of cooked sirloin steak, pork loin, tuna, chicken or turkey breast provides about 25 grams of protein.

Unless otherwise specified, Taste of Home recipes are tested with lightly salted butter. Unsalted, or sweet, butter is sometimes used to achieve a buttery flavor, such as in shortbread cookies or buttercream frosting. In these recipes, added salt would detract from the buttery taste desired.

This is very tasty. The stuffing is addicting! I had so much left over so I decided to put the rest in a baking dish and bake it. Delicious! The stuffing would make an excellent dip as well..

It's hard to find thick pork chops at 8 oz each so I use 4 bigger pork chops. We don't care for sage so we use Stovetop Pork Stuffing mix. I stuff the pork chops really full and still have some leftovers to put in a casserole dish! My husband doesn't even like spinach but doesn't want his pork chops prepared any other way!

Very easy to make and so yummy that I didn't need ketchup on my pork chops like I do with other recipes. :x

The stuffing was too squishy I thought, it was just ok, not something I'll make again.

Awsome!!! I made 4 large chops and froze the remaining stuffing for another time. Hopefully it will be just as good!! My guests were impressed. Didn't change a thing.
