September 15 - Dinner - Pork Chops with Apples & Stuffing and Steamed Green Beans

Well, EVERYONE raved about this dish! It will definitely go on the menu again for next month! Even the kids loved it! And, it was sooo easy to make!

Pork Chops with Apples & Stuffing
1 pkg (6 oz) Stove Top Stuffing Mix for Chicken
1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
6 boneless pork loin chops (1-1/2 lbs), 3/4 in thick (I only made 4 chops because we don't like too many leftovers)

Heat oven to 375 F. Prepare stuffing as directed on the package.

Spread the pie filling onto the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch baking pan (I used an 8 x 8 for 4 chops) sprayed with cooking spray; top with chops and stuffing. Cover with foil.

Bake 30 minutes; uncover. Bake an additional 10 minutes or until chops are cooked through (I actually had to bake another additional 10 minutes and I don't think mine were 3/4 in thick).

Will went on and on about how good this dish was! Even several hours later. (Like I said, he doesn't rave unless it's extremely good.)

Steamed Green Beans
1 lb fresh string beans
water

Snap off the ends of the string beans and break them in half. Rinse with running water. Fill steamer with water and place green beans on the top. Bring to a boil and steam for about 10 minutes. Empty water and move beans to the saucepan. Toss with salt, pepper, and a little butter.

Estimated cost: about $8

Enjoy!

Love,

Sarah

  1. I make a similar variation that is also really good! If you don't have apple pie filling, you can use a bit of apple juice on the bottom to keep the chops moist. I also combine a pat of margarine and about a tablespoon of brown sugar to poor over the stuffing. It creates a carmelized crust. =) I call mine "Apple Pie Pork Chops" since it smells like Apple Pie while it cooks.
