Pork And Corn Stuffing
A savory pork and corn stuffing casserole featuring tender pork chops baked atop a flavorful corn and stuffing mixture, perfect for family dinners or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the golden corn soup, corn bread stuffing, chopped onion, and paprika in a bowl.
- Spoon the stuffing mixture into a 9-inch pie pan and spread evenly.
- Arrange the boneless pork chops on top of the stuffing and press them slightly into the mixture.
- Mix the brown sugar and spicy brown mustard to create a glaze, then spread it lightly over the pork chops.
- Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes until the pork chops are cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using a blend of spices like garlic powder or thyme in the stuffing mixture. If you don't have corn bread stuffing, you can substitute with regular bread crumbs mixed with a bit of cornmeal for texture. Make sure to adjust the baking time if using thicker pork chops for even cooking. This dish pairs well with classic American recipes like Chefs Potato Salad.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pork and corn stuffing with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad to balance the richness of the dish. A refreshing Back-Bay Salad would also complement the flavors nicely. For an extra touch, drizzle some extra glaze over the pork just before serving for added sweetness and visual appeal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pork and stuffing in an oven-safe dish, cover with foil, and warm at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave it in individual portions, but be sure to cover it to retain moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen corn instead of canned corn soup?
Yes, you can use frozen corn, but you'll need to cook it first and add some broth or cream to achieve the same consistency as the soup. This will ensure the stuffing remains moist and flavorful.
What can I substitute for pork chops?
If you're looking for a different protein, boneless chicken breasts or turkey cutlets work well as substitutes for pork chops. Just adjust the cooking time to ensure they are fully cooked.
Is there a way to make this dish spicier?
Absolutely! You can add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the stuffing mixture for an extra kick. Additionally, replacing spicy brown mustard with a hotter variety can enhance the spice level.
