Pork chop recipe ideas?

We eat a lot of pork chops in my house. There are many things you can do with them aside from grilling. We try to avoid that cooking method as well, because they do get rock hard quite often!

1. Bread and bake the pork chops in the oven. Use the standard egg wash and flour coating. Season your breadcrumbs with Italian seasonings or make a spicy bread crumb mixture used crushed red pepper flakes, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, chili powder, and cumin. Serve the breaded chops with white rice and red beets for a complete dinner.

2. Make stuffed pork chops for dinner. We combine ricotta cheese with spinach and mushrooms. Stuff each pork chops with the cheese mixture or layer it on top of the meat if you can't cut into the center of the pork chop to create a pocket for the filling. Roasted garlic potatoes make a great side or a toss salad would work too.

3. Barbecue pork chops are really good, and you don't need to cook them on the grill. Just throw them into the crock pot or even with barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and sliced onion. It tastes almost the same but involves less work, and the meat will be juicy and tender when it's finished coking. Macaroni and cheese or baked beans make a great "barbecue" side dish. You could also have pasta or potato salad.

4. Pork tacos are really good and a creative dinner idea. Pour salsa and taco seasoning mix over the meat before it cooks in the oven. After you have removed it from the oven, shred the meat and salsa mixture to use as a filling for soft tortilla shells or a taco salad. Include lots of fresh ingredients like lettuce, cheddar cheese, and diced onion. Creamed or buttered sweet corn is a good side.

I like to "Stuff" them with a Stove Top Dressing and baked for 20 mins at 350 degrees. Place a slice half way through the chop, fold back, add the stuffing, and fold back over. Once cooked, let rest for 5 mins, plate and serve with either a Turkey gravy or Brown Gravy on top. Simple and easy. I would recommend a few others but it may be too time comsuming, and for a busy household this works really well on a weeknight.

you can bake them in the oven ....

use a 9x13 pan ... place the chops in the pan, cover with condensed cream of mushroom soup (don't add the water) ... bake at 350 for about 45 minutes ... make some rice and you have moist pork chops and gravy ... Mmmmm ...
