If you want to impress you dinner guests with a wonderful meal...then this one is it, pork chops with a wonderful-tasting stuffing in the middle If desired, the chops can be browned before stuffing and baking. (Note: you can do it yourself, but I always get my corner butcher to slice pockets in the pork chops, also, make sure that the pork chops are cut thick enough to stuff). Ingredients:
