This was one of my first “on my own” dinners about 30 years ago; I received it from my mum years ago.
| Prep Time: | 10 mins |
| Cook Time: | 1 hr |
| Total Time: | 1 hr 10 mins |
| Servings: | 6 |
| Yield: | 6 pork chops |
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter, cut into small chunks
- 2 (14 ounce) packages dry stuffing mix (such as Stove Top®)
- 6 boneless center-cut pork chops
- 2 (15 ounce) cans Italian-style stewed tomatoes
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Arrange butter into the bottom of a cast iron Dutch oven. Spread dry stuffing mix over the butter to cover the bottom of the pot. Place pork chops onto the layer of stuffing mix. Pour tomatoes over the pork chops.
- Bake until chops are slightly pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Season with salt and pepper.
- Add seasoning if desired. I find the salt content of the packaged stuffing and the stewed tomatoes to do the trick. Black pepper is always recommended, but not essential.

So good. I mixed 1 apple chunked up, 3/4 cup craisens to dry stuffing mix. I added 1/2 cup water to stuffing mix. Put over butter. Added pork chops. Followed recipe from other reviewer and added can of cream of celery w 1/2 cup milk which I poured over all. Bottom was crispy from the butter. The soup makes it tasty and not too dry. So good!
Love this!!! Used review idea of cream of celery and milk instead of tomato sauce!!! Delicious and do able!
I made this, didn’t go well. too many tomatoes, stuffing was soggy in one place, totally dry in another…I won’t make it again…
I used the recipe as shown and the results were not good at all. The stuffing mix was soo dry we had to remove it and soak it in hot water to make it edible. A partial improvement would be to use half of the stuffing mix called for and add liquid to the stewed tomatoes. We ate what we could and tossed the rest out.
I didn’t have high hopes for this recipe. No changes made, other than use bone in pork chops and salt free seasoning. I do think the second can of stewed tomatoes should be blended to give extra liquid for the stuffing.
My stuffing was extremely dry did not turn out well at all.
I made this recipe. I used only 3 boneless chops,4 T butter on bottom of the dish, pkg of stuffing. I also used 1 can cream of celery soup and 1/2 c milk instead of the tomatoes. I covered it and baked at the 375 for 45 min.as it started to smell like it was burning. I took it out of the oven and all was well. I will make this again!
This probably would have been better if I had melted the butter in the bottom of the pan since parts of the stuffing stayed dry. Overall the dish had a good flavor with the added tomatoes. Would I make it again? Maybe.
