BAKED STUFFED PINEAPPLE PORK CHOPS

6 ( 1/2-inch) thick center cut pork chops
Stuffing (recipe follows)
1 small can pineapple slices

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Place pork chops in a baking dish in oven, covered, and bake
approximately 30 minutes. Do not turn over. Pour off excess grease, if
necessary. Do not let the pork chops become too brown.

Stuffing

6 slices day old bread
1 onion (either fried or microwaved)
2 stalks celery, either fried
or microwaved
1 or 2 eggs

Mix all stuffing ingredients with a little water.

Remove pork chops from baking pan; uncover, place stuffing mixture on
top of each pork chop. Return to oven, uncovered, and bake for 30 to 40
minutes more, checking to be sure the pork does not stick or burn. If
moisture evaporates, add 1/2 cup of water. Ten minutes before done,
place a pineapple slice on each pork chop and finish baking.

You sound like me!

I'm never lucky enough to find a small pineapple, the ones I see are a big as an ice bucket. Too much for one, even a greedy one like me.

[cookingwithliz]

1 cup diced fresh pineapple
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup diced cucumber
2 teaspoons rice vinegar

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.

Great over steaks or fish or served with chips.

Liz, thanks for sharing the salsa recipe. My DH just sliced two fresh pineapples (they were given to us) yesterday and now I can use some of it this way. They are so sweet and delicious.
