No matter how you choose to cook your pork chops, the key to success is cooking the pork enough to ensure it is well cooked and safe to eat without drying it out. A good way to cook a tender moist pork chop is to stuff it.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Choose your favorite stuffing recipe. Pork chops can be stuffed with any number of ingredients. Many recipes use a bread stuffing, others use vegetables and cheeses to stuff the pork chop. Look in your cookbook for stuffed pork chop recipes. You can also find a variety of stuffing recipes on the Internet.

  2. Step 2

    Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the pork chop lengthwise going down the center if your chops are at least 1 inch thick. Do not cut it completely in half. You want to slice about 3/4 of the way down the pork chop so you create a pocket. If the pork chops have bones in them cut the pocket until you come to the bone.

  3. Step 3

    Prepare your stuffing from the recipe that you chose.

  4. Step 4

    Spoon the prepared stuffing into the pockets in your pock chops, then insert a couple of toothpicks through the open end to hold it all in place while baking.

  5. Step 5

    Layer the pork chops and the stuffing in the pan instead of slicing and stuffing them if your pork chops are thinner than 1 inch.

  6. Step 6

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent the stuffed pork chops from drying out while baking.

  7. Step 7

    Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour or until tender.
