Pear Stuffed Pork Chops

• 10 1/2 pork tenderloin chops, 1 inch thick (bone out)
• 2 boxes of stove top pork stuffing mix (or comparable to)
• 1 (20 ounce) can pears in heavy syrup
• garlic powder
• salt
• pepper
• butter or margarine

1. Cut the chops in the middle, as if to make a pocket.
2. Season the pork chops with the salt, pepper, and garlic, and set aside.
3. In a pot cook the stuffing as the directions indicate on the box.
4. When the stuffing is finished, take the pears and mash them up with your hands and drop them into the stuffing.
5. After the pears are mixed in with the stuffing, take a table spoon, and stuff the pork chops.
6. When the chops have been stuffed, lightly sprinkle the pear syrup from the can over all of the chops.
7. Place on a cookie sheet, bake on about 350, until the chops are cooked thoroughly.
