Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the golden corn soup, chopped celery, chopped onion, paprika, and corn bread stuffing mix in a bowl.
- Spread the mixture evenly in a greased pie plate.
- Arrange the boneless pork chops over the stuffing mixture.
- Press the chops lightly into the stuffing to help them stay in place.
- Mix the brown sugar and brown mustard together and spread evenly over the pork chops.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes or until the pork chops are tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist on flavor, consider adding some chopped bell peppers or diced jalapeños to the stuffing mixture. If you don’t have corn bread stuffing mix, regular bread crumbs or seasoned stuffing mix can work as substitutes. Make sure to sear the pork chops in a skillet for a few minutes before baking for added flavor and moisture, similar to the method in Soupy Pork Chops.
Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs beautifully with a side of steamed green beans or a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal. For a heartier option, serve it alongside mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables. You can also complement it with a glass of white wine or a light beer to enhance the flavors. For dessert, consider serving slices of apple pie to complete your meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pork chop and corn stuffing bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick meal, but the oven method will help retain the dish's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bone-in pork chops instead of boneless?
Yes, you can use bone-in pork chops, but be aware that they may require a longer cooking time. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption, and adjust the baking time accordingly.
What can I substitute for golden corn soup?
If you don’t have golden corn soup, you can use cream of corn or a mixture of corn and cream. Alternatively, you can blend canned corn with some milk for a homemade version that will also work well in this recipe.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the stuffing mixture and place it in the pie plate, then cover and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, simply arrange the pork chops on top and bake as instructed. This makes for an easy weeknight meal when you’re short on time.
