Stuffed Pork Chops

STUFFED PORK CHOPS:
4 - inch to nc and a half thick pork chops
( i lightly seasoned with lawry's seasoning salt and garlic powder)

1 small pack of frozen spinach thawed
1 small onion
1 med pack of whole mushrooms sliced ( presliced is quick but the whole ones just taste better and are usually in better shape atthe grocery shop)
3 tablespoons butter
Mozarella cheese

Toss butter into hot sautee pan and let melt fully then add in your onions let sautee for about 5 mins then add in sliced mushrooms and spinach until almost cooked (sauteed)

while sautee mis is cooking season front and back of pork chops with some lawry's  seasoning salt and garlic powder. Butterfly cut your pork chops (slice pork chops almost fully in half but leave a bit connected so you can close the pork chops back up.
Put few tablespoons of olive oil into a frying pan and heat up oil. While oil is heating
Place handful of mozarella cheese in each now open pork chop then add in about same of your mushroom/onion/spinach mix (sorry i did by eye on how much i thought the pork chops would hold) close pork chop up and put a toothpick on both ends of the pork chop to keep closed while you are cooking them.
I had to snip a smll part of the toothpick off to make sure all part of the side being cooked of my chops touched the pan.
Turn stove heat to med-low (3 on the dial) and place porkchops into hot pan and cook for approx 10mins on each side. Some stuffing will fall out but thats ok those are tastey bits as well =)

Enjoy

Special note: my 4 1/2 yr old can be a picky eater sometimes esp with her vggies she was hesitant to try the pork chops but she ate about 1/2 to 3/4 of a pork chop all herself  when usually she'll share half of what i have on my plate and be done.
