Please share your favorite pork chops recipes!

I don't make pork chops very often but when I do I just marinate them in soy sauce and pan cook them. It is how I remember my mom doing it.
 

My family will go out of the way not to miss dinner if I make any of these:

Fried pork chops with milk gravy, mashed potatoes and green beans.

One Pan Ranch Porkchops and Roasted Potatoes.

Coated with French's Fried Onions and baked. I mix half and half cheddar and regular. Dip in beaten egg seasoned with salt and pepper, coat with crushed French's and bake. I serve with my layered potatoes. Reds sliced thin, onion, s&p,garlic powder, parm, a couple dots of butter and repeat layers.

Baked with my homemade "rice o roni" and corn on the cob. I make myself "pork chop bowls" for lunch with the leftovers.

My stepmother would dump a can of sauerkraut on top and bake or serve baked with applesauce on the side. I miss applesauce with my porkchops but none of my kids like applesauce. Oddly I won't eat porkchops cooked in apples or apple juice/cider.

Brown 4-6 pork chips on both sides.

Mix 1 1/3 cups rice, 1c. orange juice, and 1 can chicken and rice soup in a large casserole dish.

Place porks chops on top. Bake (350) covered about 40 minutes and uncovered for 10.
 
Pork Chops and Apples
Makes 5-6 servings
Prep time - 15 minutes
Cooking/Baking time - 1 to 1-1/2 hours

5-6 pork chops
2 T oil (I just use vegetable oil)
3-4 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (I use Granny Smith to offset the sweetness)
1/4 C brown sugar
1 t cinnamon

Brown chops on both sides in oil in a skillet, about 3 minutes on each side. Don't crowd the skillet or the chops will steam in their own juices rather than brown. Brown in batches for best results. Place apples in a long greased baking dish. (I use a 10" square Corning ovenproof dish.) Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Top with browned chops. Cover and bake for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until chops are tender and cooked through. I always check with a meat thermometer as chops come in different thicknesses, and I'm nervous about undercooked pork.

We just bake them with salt, pepper and a little garlic powder, then when they're almost done we put this on top and let them cook for about five minutes longer. You can use it on a roast, too. (I bought a knock off brand but haven't tried it yet. This stuff is good, though - worth the price IMO.)

My grandmother was the best plain cook ever. She just had a knack for making really great food without a lot of fuss. I still use her pork chop "recipe", which tastes much better than the ingredients suggest, especially considering how simple it is. Add a baked potato and a green vegetable and you just stepped back into the 1950's. Perfect comfort food on a cold day.

Just put the pork chops in a baking dish that has a cover. Slice some onion and chop some garlic (all to taste) and put that over the chops. Salt and pepper to taste. (I like pepper, so I use plenty.) Mix ketchup with some water (to thin it down a bit). You want enough ketchup to make a good tomato-y sauce to spoon over the chops, but a thin enough sauce so the chops and sauce remain in enough liquid so they don't dry out. (I think I use just a bit more water than ketchup, but I'm not sure as I write this, so you're on your own here. But you can't really mess this up.) Bake at about 350 or 375, until the chops are fork-tender. (Remove the cover when you have enough baking time left to ensure that the chops get nice and brown.)

2017 suggestion - buy Costco's pork chops. They're so good - very thick and almost no fat. We also grill their pork chop along side of grilled fresh pineapple spears and pieces of green, red and yellow peppers.

My stepmother would do that with cube steaks and add Worcester sauce. I've been wanting to make it lately but not sure how it would go over with my kids. Maybe I'll give it a try with porkchops. My kids love their porkchops. (It's kinda weird how much, lol)
 
Melt some butter. Dredge the pork chops in the butter. Press them over crushed Ritz crackers (both sides). Place them in a covered baking dish. Cook at 375 until done (depends on the thickness).
