This recipe for Instant Pot Stuffed Pork Chops is one of the best meals I’ve ever made in my Instant Pot. Considering how much I use my IP that is truly saying something.
Tender pork chops and cornbread stuffing come together in the IP for a delicious quick meal that you’ll want to make again and again!
Stuffed Pork Chops
For these Instant Pot Stuffed Pork Chops start with boneless loin chops cut extra thick. I bought a whole pork loin and cut them myself while I was cutting it up. But I’m sure you can get your butcher to cut some thick chops at the counter. These were roughly 1 1/2 inches thick.
About the Mushrooms Called for in This Recipe
I used the mushrooms in PLACE of the trivet. If you don’t like mushrooms or don’t have them by all means use the trivet. What you don’t want is to have those chops down in the cooking water. You want them just above it.
You can EASILY replace the stuffing, onions, and celery in this recipe with TWO boxes of Stove Top Stuffing to make stuffed pork chops. It’s quick and easy and tastes GREAT! No worries, you have to do what works for you.
Can you pressure-cook pork chops? YES!!
Pressure Cooking pork chops in the IP makes them tender enough to cut with a fork. After browning these take just 10 minutes on manual and 10 minutes on natural release and your dinner is ready!
