Looking for some yummy kid friendly pork chops recipes-thanks!
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)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.
First thing I thought of!
