Stuffing-Filled Pork Chops

Prep time: 10-15 minutes
Cook time: 30-45 minutes
Servings: 6

Stuffing:

• 1 small box biscuit mix
• 1 stick butter
• 2-3 stalks finely diced celery

• oil
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic

6. Slit each chop on rounded side, cutting almost through to bone, to create deep pockets for stuffing.
7. Season chops with garlic, sage, thyme and rosemary. Fill each chop with stuffing mixture. Use toothpicks to keep chops closed.
8. Preheat skillet with oil over medium-high heat and sear each chop 2-3 minutes on each side.
9. Once chops are seared, add remaining stuffing to pan, cover with foil and bake 30-45 minutes until chops reach 140 F in center. Remove foil for last 10 minutes to brown top of stuffing, if desired.
