Time 2h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium sweet potatoes
4 boneless pork sirloin chops, about 1/2 inch thick (1 pound)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 cup chopped apple
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped celery

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Pierce sweet potatoes with fork to allow steam to escape. Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until tender. Cool 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, remove fat from pork chops. Place pork in ungreased rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches. Mix salt, paprika, garlic powder and pepper; sprinkle half of the salt mixture over pork. Turn pork; sprinkle with remaining salt mixture. Pour 1/2 cup orange juice into pan; set aside.
  • Cut each sweet potato lengthwise in half. Scoop out pulp, leaving 1/4-inch shell. Mash pulp until no lumps remain. Beat in 2 tablespoons orange juice until light and fluffy. Stir in apple, onion and celery. Fill shells with pulp mixture.
  • Move pork to one end of pan; place sweet potatoes in other end of pan. Bake uncovered about 35 minutes or until sweet potatoes are hot and pork is slightly pink in center.

Amazing! This dish was a showstopper at my dinner party. The pork was cooked to perfection and the sweet potatoes were the perfect side dish. I will definitely be making this again.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I would recommend using less brown sugar in the sweet potato filling next time.

Not a fan. The pork was tough and the sweet potatoes were bland.

The pork was a little dry, but the sweet potatoes were delicious. I would recommend using a pork loin roast instead of a pork shoulder, as it is a leaner cut of meat and will cook more evenly.

This pork and stuffed sweet potato dish was a hit with my family! The pork was tender and juicy, and the sweet potatoes were perfectly cooked and flavorful. I especially loved the pecan-cranberry stuffing, which added a sweet and nutty flavor to the
