Pork Chop Supreme

I got this one from my good friend Rachel!  She is an amazing cook!

Ingredients
Pork Chops
4-5 Medium Potatoes peeled and sliced
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup evaporated milk
2 Tbsp chopped onion
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Brown pork chops and season with salt and pepper.  Put sliced potatoes in bottom of 9x13 pan.  Put the browned pork chops on top of the potatoes.  Mix soup, milk and onion and pour over the potatoes and pork chops.  Cover with cheese.  Bake 375 for 1 hour until potatoes are tender.

Baked Beans

I was suppose to make some baked beans for a cookout.  I usually just warm them up out of the can but my friend, Mrs Malvina, told me that wouldn't be that good.  :)  SO I tried this recipe from my children's "TN Grandparents" (Mrs Pritchett) and everyone loved them!

Ingredients:
1lb sausage
1 onion chopped
1 bell pepper chopped
64 oz pork and beans
1 cup ketchup
4 Tbsp brown sugar

Cook sausage, onion, and bell peppers.
Add remaining ingredients.
Bake 350 for 1 hour.

My 2 cents:

• I never would have guessed sausage but it was pretty good.
• I am not a big fan of meat in my beans unless I am eating chili but this was pretty good.
• My hubby LOVED it.
• Simple with easy ingredients! yay!

Delicious Pork Chops

Yes, that is what they are called on KraftFoods.com.

Ingredients:
4 Pork Chops
8 tsp minced garlic
8 tsp minced onion
1 cup bread crumbs
Olive Oil

Preheat over to 350.
Sprinkle pork chops with 1 tsp each of garlic and onion on each side. Pat to make sure everything sticks.
Sprinkle with bread crumbs so that pork chops are completely covered.
Place on backing tray side by side and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
Place in oven for approx 1 hour or until bread crumbs are golden and crspy.

My 2 cents worth on this:

• I did not have minced onion so I chopped fresh onion very small and just used a little.
• My hubby thought this was great.
• My 1 year old ate it up and wanted more more more.
• One hour was too long for my oven. I think 45 minutes was good.
  

Pork Chops and Rice

I got this one from my mom.

Ingredients:
6 pork chops
1 cup of rice
3 cups hot water
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 onion chopped
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 green pepper chopped

Brown chops in pan. In glass dish mix rice, water, salt, pepper, onion, and soup. Add green peppers. Arrange chops on top. Cover with foil. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes to an hour.

My 2 cents worth on this:

• It is yummy but I am realizing I say that about everything. This is a blog about recipes I like. These ARE the recipes in my families "rotation" for suppers.
  
• Cool thing is you get 2 in one. The rice and the chops.
• This is a good meal. Add a veggie and you are done.

Pork Medallions Alfredo

I got this one from Kraft Foods. (I know everyone is surprised.)

Ingredients:
1 pork tenderloin (1 lb) cut into 1/2 inch thick slices
4 oz cream cheese, cubed
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp chopped fresh basil

Spray large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat on medium-high heat. Add meat; cook 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned on both sides.

Add cream cheese, broth, dressing, parmesan cheese, and juice; stir until cream cheese is melted and mixture is well blended. Cook 3 minutes or until sauce is thickened and meat is cooked thru.

Sprinkle with basil.

My 2 cents worth on this:

• I used already cut pork and it was great.
• This is so easy and I am so excited to have another meat in our rotation - not just chicken and hamburger meat.
• I used the basil spice that you just buy and not fresh.. it was still good.
• Hannah ate every piece of it on her plate. We told her it was pork with cheese and saying "cheese" hooked her. She loved loved loved it.
• Did I say this was easy? It is. And very good.
• I served it with noodles so we put noodles on our plate, a piece of pork on, and then spooned some of the extra sauce on top.
