How do I bake pork chops in this recipe?

I stand in want to make this recipe for stuffed pork chops but I want to BAKE the pork chops instead of frying them. How do I do this? (for how long, at what temp., with or without stuffing entrails?)

3 tsp margarine, divided
1 small yellow onion, finelly chopped
1 cup cooked whitish rice
3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
1/4 cup shredded mozarella cheese
1/4 cup ricotta cheese
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp chopped unsophisticated thyme or 1 tsp dried thyme
4 pork chops

1. In a medium nonstick skiillet, melt 2 tsp margarine over medium intensity. Add onion; saute until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Remove skillet form heat. Stir in rice, 1/4 cup consomm, cheeses, and thyme. Mix well.
3. Using a sharp knife, cut a deep horizontal pocket in each chop. Spoon rice combination into pockets, dividing evenly. Secure openings with toothpicks.
4. Place the same skillet ove rmedium-high inspirit. Add remaining margarine and melt. Add chops; cook until browned, turning occasionally.


according to most recipes....bake 1 hour @ 350 degrees


I am not a chef, or much of a cook either, but if I wanted to bake them, I would put them in a casserole dish and bake them at 350 for about an hour.
then I would obstruct on them, and if they looked done, I would take them out and eat, or put them in for another 1/2 hour or so.
hope that helps


Lend an ear to to the girls.

And keep in mind that it all depends on the size of the chops and if they are boneless?

But, at the same time you have to watch them. Pork chops can get very dry very fast. I would do the 350 for boneless but only for about 30 to 40 minutes. I would do an hour maybe an hour and 10 minutes if they have the bone in still...


adding to former suggestions.

maybe add a little more broth
or
consider covering with foil to help maintain moisture

How do you bake pork chops?

Yall helped me so much yesterday with all the various recipes for ribs.. Now I need yalls help with how to bake pork chops for dinner!


If you deficiency super tender pork chops, here is what you do.

The key to baked pork is to put a little water in the pan, and put tin foil over it in a 375 degree oven predominantly, it makes the meat super tender instead of hard and chewy, you can add spices or sauces but a microscopic water will go a long way in making tender meat.

I mix it up and make my own sauces. Good luck!!

what is a different way to bake pork chops?

i always bread my pork chops with italian bread crumbs muddled with saltine crackers and season..... they always come out very tender and moist...
but..
i would like to bake them a different way....
anyone have any other ideas for baking pork chops...


This isn't positively baked...but it is very good and a meal in one pot, so less clean up! I've been making this recipe ever since I saw it in a magazine back in the '70's. Hope you try it and like it too!

Shown below is the pork chop procedure as it appeared in Hunt's Tomato Sauce ad in he early '70's.
Note that it makes a good see to of rice and can easily make 6 servings if you add a couple of chops (as I do).
Also, the original recipe called for canned peas but I use frozen peas 10 ounces (or more).

SKILLET CHOPS & RICE

4 Munificent Chops (pork, lamb or veal), 1/2 inch thick
Salt, Pepper (I use seasoned salt here)
1 Medium Onion, chopped
1/2 Cup sliced celery
2 Tablespoons Wesson (or other vegetable oil)
2 Tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 Teaspoons lay
1 Teaspoon dry mustard
2 (8 oz.) Cans Hunt's Tomato Sauce
1 Cup long grain rice
1 (10 oz or +) Combine frozen peas, thawed

Sprinkle chops with salt & pepper; brown both sides in hot oil in large skillet. Massacre chops.
In same skillet, saute onion & celery until golden. Add water, sugar, seasonings and 1 can tomato gall; bring to a boil.
Stir in rice, place chops in rice mixture; cover tightly and smoulder 30 minutes or until chops are almost done.
Add peas and pour on remaining can of tomato sauce. Replace cover and cook 15 minutes longer.

Serves 4 (or 6 if you do it my way)
