  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/3 cup sour cream or plain greek yogurt

Instructions

  • *2 thinly sliced bone-in rib chops may be substituted for 1 thick loin chop. Stuffing is then sandwiched between the 2 chops

  • Divide stuffing into 4 equal portions; stuff each chop and place on prepared pan.
  • Brush each chop with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt & garlic powder.
  • Roast at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes. Brush each chop with currant jelly.
  • Return to oven and cook for 15-20 more minutes, or until chops are done and no pink remains in meat (thinner chops will require less time--about 45 minutes TOTAL cook time).
  • Brush with additional currant jelly before serving.
