Recipe: Stuffed Pork Chops (pork chops baked on top of stuffing)

STUFFED PORK CHOPS

1 onion, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
1/2 of a green bell pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 to 3 cups stale bread, crumbled into small pieces
1 egg
1 chopped apple (such as Granny Smith or Rome)
1/2 cup milk (approximately)
4 boneless pork chops

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Saute onion, celery and bell pepper in olive oil until tender.

In a large bowl, mix together crumbled bread, egg, apple and enough milk to make mixture hold together. Add sauteed vegetables and mix together.

Place stuffing in an 8x8-inch baking dish. Place pork chops on top; add salt and pepper to taste.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes, or until pork chops are done.
