Stuffed pork chops with sage dressing are such a delight. I know that you will love this main dish. It works up so quickly and it is a favorite in our home. I got the recipe from a good friend who has now passed away.
He made it one year for my birthday. He was always thinking of others and serving. When he found out that it was my birthday, he insisted on bringing my whole family dinner. I can truly say that it was fantastic.
I was a little bit worried because I am not one to eat dressing; I think that it is a texture thing. It is a little too soggy for me. However these stuffed pork chops were amazing. I loved the perfect texture of the dressing and the flavor was very good. Not too much sage and it was a little on the crunchy side, not soggy! He also gave us baked potatoes and a delicious carrot cake.

How Do I Make Stuffed Pork Chops?
Here’s the simple steps you’ll follow to make these pork chops (scroll down for the full recipe):
Pork Chops:
- Cut a pocket in each pork chop or cut the pork roast into 1 1/2″ slices 3/4 of the way through the roast.
- Place the roast into a 9″ x 13″ pan, that has been sprayed lightly with cooking spray, with the uncut side on the bottom.
- Stuff each slot with sage dressing, or you can use stove top dressing as well.
- Bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, uncover (if the stuffing starts to turn brown early, cover it loosely with a piece of foil, and leave it on for the remaining time).
Sage Dressing:
- Cube the bread into small cubes.
- In a medium skillet, melt butter, then add onions and celery and saute until clear.
- In a large mixing bowl, add bread, celery & onion mixture, salt, pepper, sage, and chicken granules. Stir together.

- Stuff into the pork roast and enjoy!
So when I had my cute family over for dinner the other day, we had stuffed pork chops. It is a meal that looks like and tastes like a lot of work.
I don’t mind making them, because I like the flavor, and they cook nice and slow, blending all of the flavors. I guess the reason that this is on my mind is because I get to celebrate another birthday next week. Awesome.
Tell me what your favorite birthday meal is? If you are like me, anything that you don’t have to cook!! I take that back, sometimes when I go out to eat, I think to myself, I wish I would have stayed home and made something myself.
There are disadvantages to loving to cook. However, sometimes you can get some pretty amazing grub out there.
I hope that you will give these stuffed pork chops a try; they truly are very easy and they taste very professional. Let me know how they work out for you, I know that you are going to love them and you will also love the compliments! Enjoy!!
Tips and Tricks For Stuffed Pork Chops:
- You can use boxed dressing if you are in a hurry and do not want to make your own stuffing.
- If you are in a hurry and need the meat to cook faster, just cut your pork roast thinner.
- Some people like to add a little cooked sausage to their dressing, giving it a little twist on the flavor!

What a special friend you had. I’m loving these pork chops. Thank you for sharing.
My friend was a very special person. I miss him, but love this memory that he left for me that I think of each year when my birthday rolls around. That is what life is all about – leaving special memories. Thank you for reading this post.
Looks so yummy! So great that you have this recipe from your friend who passed away….it’s a great reminder of that person I am sure 🙂
Yes, I love how different foods or recipes remind me of different people and experiences. The pork chops were fabulous.
These look absolutely fabulous! Thanks for celebrating national pork month with us!
Thank you for the opportunity to share a recipe. We really do like these stuffed pork chops.
Can I substitute chicken or turkey?
I really don’t know. I have never tried chicken or turkey. This is my Stuffed Pork Chops recipe. Maybe you could use Chicken Breasts and have it turn out similar. If you try it, let me know. Thank you for coming by and commenting. I’m sorry that I haven’t tried chicken or turkey with this recipe before. Good luck.
I made these stuffed pork chops today for Sunday dinner. The stuffing is delicious and easy to make. The chops turned out moist and perfectly brown. I will be making these over and over.
I’m so glad that they turned out so well for you! Thank you for leaving a comment. It makes my heart sing when folks like you let me know that they enjoy a recipe!
Haven’t had stuffed pork chops in years.. But they’re in the oven, as we speak!!.. Thank you for sharing your recipe, and your story, they’re both beautiful!!..????
Thank you so much for leaving such a lovely comment – we appreciate it. I hope that you enjoyed your stuffed pork chops as much as we enjoy them.
This exactly my recipe too, stuffing and all my family won’t eat boxed stuffing. I’m going to try putting some cream of chicken soup over top for a little gravy. Never did before but try something different, I also have stuffed chicken breast too. Make a pocket and stuff and use cooking twine.
It is always fun to try something a little different and sometimes quite surprising how good it turns out.
