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.
