Sweet and Sour Stuffed Pork Chops
from Campbell's Kitchen

Prep Time: 15 min. - Bake Time: 45 min.

6 boneless pork chops, 1 1/4" thick
1 can (8 oz.) crushed pineapple
1/2 cup water
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/4 cup margarine OR butter
2 tbsp. packed brown sugar
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. vinegar
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 pkg. (8 oz.) Pepperidge Farm(R) Cornbread Stuffing (about 4 cups)

Directions:
CUT horizontally through each chop to form a pocket. Set aside.
MIX pineapple, water, celery, margarine, sugar, soy, vinegar and
garlic powder in medium saucepan. Heat to a boil. Remove from heat.
Add stuffing and mix lightly.
SPOON stuffing mixture into pork chop pockets. Place chops
stuffing-side up in 2-qt. shallow baking dish. Cover.
BAKE at 350°F. for 20 min. Uncover and bake 25 min. or until chops are
done. Serves 6.

Kitchen Clip:
Have your butcher cut the pockets in the boneless chops, or do it yourself:
Make a 1/2" slit in one side of the chop with a sharp knife, being
careful not to cut all the way through to the other side; gently nudge
the opening inside the chop with your fingers.
