Meat: Beef & Pork Easy Recipes

Do you like the dressing your mother or grandmother used to make from scratch? Have you ever had pork chops with dressing? Sometimes dressing is also called stuffing. Around my part of the world it’s know as dressing.

Homemade dressing used dried bread, sage, water, onion and other ingredients to make a great stuffing for turkey or to cook with pork chops. The nice thing about this pork chops and stuffing recipe is anyone cam make it, even a child. You don’t have to know anything other than how to fry a hamburger.

You can fry practically anything if you can fry a hamburger. The biggest difference between frying things on the stove is how long it takes and that’s based on thickness and amount of flame. However if you can fry a burger you can fry most everything else. It’s not to tough.

For this tasty pork chops and dressing recipe you need a 5 quart dutch oven with a lid. A frying pan, 2 boxes of Stove Top Stuffing for Chicken. It says that right on the front of the package. Don’t get anything else but the Stove Top Stuffing for chicken as the rest of the types aren’t as good.

You also need 6 pork chops, preferably with the bone out. I cut my boneless pork chops from the boneless pork loins I buy on sale for less that $2.00 per pound. I cut the chops about 1 inch thick as that’s how I like them. You also need an onion and 1 stick of margarine.

Chop the onion until it’s fairly fine, add 3 2/3s cups water into the 5 quart dutch oven. Put the onion and the stick of margarine in the water and turn the heat on. After it’s been boiling for a couple of minutes shut it off and add both boxes of the stuffing mix to the dutch oven. Stir it all up with a meat fork and then put the cover on and let if sit for a few minutes.

While the water, onion and margarine is coming to a boil you can start browning the pork chops in a frying pan. You don’t need to cook the all the way done. You just want to get them browned so they look and taste good. Set the frying pan on the stove and crank the flame on high and let the pan heat up for a few minutes. Put a couple of pats of butter in so the chops don’t stick.

After the pan is hot, brown the pork chops on both sides. While the pork chops finish browning stir the dressing with the meat fork again. I stir it until all the croutons are broken up. BTW, if you read the directions on the package you will note this recipe calls for more water than the recipe on the box. I like my dressing moister than the box recipe makes it. If you want your’s a little dryer use the amount of water the box says. Don’t make it in the microwave as it doesn’t taste as good.
