BAKED STUFFED PORK CHOPS AND PAN GRAVY
I first cooked these in the early 90's when I belonged to a cooking school and they're great! Make sure your guests are hungry: this is a very hearty entree. Recipe #320348 makes a really good side dish. I cook them with apple juice - just haven't gotten around to trying them with wine. Note: The recipe is easily modified for thinner chops by reducing the browning and baking times.

JOHN'S BAKED PORK CHOPS STUFFED WITH SMOKED GOUDA AND BACON
It was too rainy to grill so I prepared a baked version using boneless center-cut pork chops. I breaded the chops and added a baked apple garnish for flair. We were very pleased by the outcome. I used the fat line as marker for making the cuts for the stuffing. We like our pork well done so cooking time may vary according to your tastes.
