Prepare stuffing, add chopped artichoke hearts and cooked onions. Overstuff "pocket" tightly and bake in 350 degree oven 45 min or until excess stuffing is browned.

Thin chops may be used as well, just sandwich stuffing between 2 chops! and cut down cooking time a little.

Any excess stuffing may be baked off separately in a pan.

Works well for poultry too!

If you have a real hearty eater, you may have to serve 2 to a portion |8-)
