STUFFED PORKCHOPS AND A LITTLE ENERGY

Of course we are setting records here in Oklahoma for this excessive heat.......still no relief in sight...........sigh. I did break down and make cookies yesterday.  I only made two batches so the oven was only on for 30 min.  I made choc chip..........I always make 6 of them without chips for the dogs........they definitely know the word "cookie"!  They want to go outside so badly but the minute they are out.........and they hit that heat.......they want back in............me too.
We haven't had pork chops for awhile so found some nice thick ones and decided to stuff them. Not with dressing but with garlic and green onions.  Lay your pork chop on the bone end with the fat side up........cut a small slit with a sharp knife and then widen the pocket with the tip of the knife.  In a small skillet, melt some butter and saute some coarsely chopped garlic and sliced green onions.........remove from heat and when cool enough stuff the garlic and onion into the pocket you just made.  Now brown your salt and peppered pork chops real good on both sides. Set your oven at 350 and cover your skillet and place in the oven about 15 min.  Remember there is nothing worse than a dry pork chop.........you want it to be moist. AND it is not necessary to cook a pork chop til hard as a rock...........a little pink in the middle is the way to go........pink says moist.  Serve with some mashed potatoes or just a great fresh vegy salad.
