Sausage Stuffing Stuffed Pork Chops

In a saucepan, bring water and 2 tablespoons of butter to a boil. Remove from heat, add stuffing mix and mix well. Return the pan to the burner, cover it with a lid, and keep on low.

In a skillet, crumble the sausage and add onions until the sausage is cooked through. Add the sausage to the stuffing and again leave it covered.

Take the pork chops and make deep slits in one side of them. Make them deep enough to stuff with the stuffing. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet you cooked the sausage in and then place the pork chops in the pan. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle on minced garlic. Cook them almost through (they will finish in the oven), and make sure they get a nice sear on each side. Remove them to a cutting board and carefully stuff with the stuffing mixture, using as much as you can.

Place stuffed chops in a cooking dish and bake in a preheated 400-degree oven for 20-30 minutes.
