Creamy Mushroom Stuffed Pork Chops: A Family Dinner Favorite

Stuffed Pork Chops

These stuffed pork chops have a rich and creamy mushroom stuffing baked on top of tender pan-fried pork chops for a comforting, family-pleasing meal.

Ingredients for Stuffed Pork Chops

• 4 bone-in pork chops (1 inch thick)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• ½ cup onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup bread crumbs
• ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1. Prep & Season the Pork Chops

   Pat the pork chops dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. This ensures a juicy, flavorful bite.

2. 2. Pan-Fry for Golden Seals

   Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chops and sear 3–4 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a baking dish.

3. 3. Sauté Mushrooms & Aromatics

   In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add mushrooms, onions, and garlic. Cook 5 minutes until fragrant and tender.

4. 4. Whip Up the Creamy Filling

   Stir in cream cheese until melted. Remove from heat and mix in bread crumbs, cheddar, and parsley. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

5. 5. Bake to Perfection

   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spoon mushroom mixture over each chop, pressing lightly. Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes until pork reaches 145°F.

6. 6. Rest & Serve

   Let chops rest 5 minutes before serving. This locks in the juices and keeps the pork chops extra tender.
