How Do You Bake Stuffed Pork Chops?

These pork chops only take 35 minutes from start to finish, and that includes baking time! People will think that you spent all day cooking in the kitchen, they are so delicious!

Sear the meat: Searing these baked stuffed pork chops in a skillet before you bake them will help keep the moisture in. Let it rest: Did you know that the most important thing you can do to make sure any meat is juicy and tender is to let it rest after you cook it? This means that after you take these pork chops out of the overn, you don’t touch them or cut into them. When you let meat rest, then it allows all of those juices that it made while cooking to sink into the meat and really keep the moisture in.
