Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
Season the pork chops on both sides with salt, black pepper, and onion powder.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the pork chops and brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. SautΓ© the diced onion, celery, and minced garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle in the sage. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the seasoned stuffing mix with the broth mixture. Stir until the stuffing is evenly moistened.
In a separate bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup with the milk until smooth.
Spread half of the stuffing mixture into a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish. Lay the browned pork chops on top of the stuffing layer.
Pour the soup and milk mixture over the pork chops, spreading it evenly. Top with the remaining stuffing mixture.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
