Mom's Stuffing Pork Chops

"This is a family favorite that we often had when company came for dinner. This recipe has gone home with many invited dinner guests. Mom never follows a recipe when she cooks, so this is my best guess of how she makes them! You may have to tweak things a bit, as all values for ingredients she uses are approximate. I still have not been able to replicate hers exactly!"
