What have I learned about having a marriage that lasts 45 years? One thing for sure, keep husband well fed. The old saying, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” is true in our relationship. A few other amusing quotes:
“Marriage is a relationship in which one is always right. The other is the husband.”
“My husband thinks I’m crazy, but I’m not the one who married me.”
Men say, “Happy wife, happy life.” Women say, “Happy husband…. nothing rhymes with husband. Oh well.”
Back to the care and feeding of my hubby who is more of a “meat and potatoes” kind of guy. Me? I’m a salad and pasta type of gal, so dinners can be interesting sometimes. I’m not a big fan of pork chops, but pork loin or porchetta (roast) is okay. And I have to chime in that I love eating wild boar in Italy – the depth of flavor is unbelievable when properly cooked.
To satisfy hubby’s tastes, I do my fair share of cooking roasts, or barbecuing meat of some kind. Pork chops is one of his favorites and fixed with stuffing is a comfort food for him. So I’ll share his favorite recipe with you in case you or someone in your life might like it.
Any type of pork chop will work in this recipe, thick or thin, bone-in or boneless.
Season the chops with your favorite spices.
Make up the stuffing mix, store-bought box or homemade (click on this RECIPE to show you how to make your own stuffing from leftover bread).
Once stuffing is made, place in pre-sprayed baking dish, and lay pre-seasoned pork chops on top.
Serves 2-3 people depending on size of the chops.
Save RecipeIngredients
- 2 pork chops
- 1 package stuffing mix (like StoveTop) OR 3-4 cups homemade stuffing
- 1/2 cup celery finely chopped
- 1/4 cup white or yellow onion finely chopped
- 1-2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 to 1 cup chicken or beef broth (store brand or homemade)
- Pinch of thyme (dried or fresh chopped)

- Pinch of marjoram
- Dash of garlic powder
- Salt and pepper

Instructions
- Add bread cubes, seasonings, and butter and enough broth to lightly moisten bread. Mix well. Don't get bread too wet as juices from pork chops will trickle down into the stuffing while cooking.
