Storage and Reheating
Store leftover Stuffing-Topped Pork Chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. To reheat, warm them in the oven at 325°F for about 15–20 minutes, or until heated through; this helps keep the pork chops tender and prevents the stuffing from drying out. You can also reheat individual portions in the microwave in 30–45 second intervals, adding a splash of milk or broth if needed to keep the gravy creamy. To freeze, store cooked pork chops with the stuffing and gravy in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Let them thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Holly’s Tips for The Best Stuffing-Topped Pork Chops:
- Use Uniform, Thick-Cut Pork Chops: Choose boneless pork chops that are about ¾ inch thick to ensure they cook evenly and stay tender and juicy in the oven.
- Brown for Maximum Flavor: Don’t skip the quick sear; browning the pork chops adds rich, savory flavor and helps lock in moisture.
- Fluff the Stuffing: After preparing the stuffing, fluff it with a fork to keep it light and prevent it from getting dense while baking.
- Use a Creamy Sauce Base: Mixing the condensed soup with milk creates a smooth gravy that keeps the chops moist and adds delicious flavor to the stuffing.
- Don’t Overbake: Start checking at 35 minutes to ensure the pork stays tender; overcooking can dry out the chops.
- Let It Rest: Give the dish 5 minutes to rest before serving so the sauce thickens and flavors settle.
- Make The Gravy Your Way: Prefer a rich brown gravy or a lighter white one? Switch up the soup base to match your taste and create the perfect sauce for your pork chops. Use cream of mushroom for a classic brown sauce or swap in cream of chicken for a lighter, creamier white gravy.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Yes. Assemble the dish up to a day in advance, store it covered in the fridge, and bake when ready. You should add 5-10 minutes of baking time if starting from cold.
Absolutely. Bone-in chops work too, but you may need to add an extra 5-10 minutes of baking time to ensure they cook through since they’re typically thicker cuts.
Any boxed pork, chicken, or herb-seasoned stuffing mix will work. Choose your favorite flavor; this recipe is very flexible and pairs well with most varieties.
Yes. Cream of chicken, celery, or even cream of onion soup will all create a delicious, creamy gravy. Use whatever you prefer or already have on hand.
To make these Stuffing-Topped Pork Chops dairy-free, simply swap the cream of mushroom soup for a dairy-free version, or make your own using dairy-free butter, flour, broth, and mushrooms. Replace the milk with an unsweetened dairy-free alternative such as almond, oat, or soy milk, and double-check that your stuffing mix is dairy-free, as some brands include butter or milk powders.
For a gluten-free version, choose a gluten-free stuffing mix and a gluten-free cream of mushroom soup. Make sure any seasonings or additional ingredients you use are also labeled gluten-free. The rest of the recipe can be prepared the same way, giving you a safe, delicious alternative.

Thanks for such a great recipe! I made this a while ago and just posted the recipe on my blog for people to use their leftover stuffing! Love your blog (:
Is the stuffing mix here just flavoured breadcrumbs or doesn’t have pork and chicken in it? I can’t get stuffing mix, so was just going to make my own pork stuffing, but I put meat in it.
I made these the other night and my husband loved them thank you for posting
Am I reading the recipe right, you’re only using half of the stuffing mix?
You put 1/2 cup of stuffing on each pork chop. 🙂
I read it wrong the first time, also!

The recipe says 6 porkchops but you have 4 in the pictures. Which one is it? Thanks in advance!
The recipe is for 6! 🙂
I am so excited. This is in the oven now, smelling wonderful. I did substitute cream of chicken soup, as it is what I had.
We had the stuffing topped chops tonight for dinner Loved it … seriously. Now I know what to do with the pork loins that go on sale! Thanks for a great recipe.
This was so delicious and the lady that commented about how good the house smelled was so right! I only cooked 2 very large pork chops with bone in. I had to cook a bit longer (about 10) due to their thickness but they were so tender and the toppings were amazing! This is a definite keeper/repeater!
Hi and thank you! This was probably the best pork dish I have had in a long time. This to me is comfort food at its best. Didn’t and wouldn’t change a thing. Yum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
