Any Good Cooking Ideas for Porkchops?

Hi J.!

I make a great baked pork chop recipe that I found on Allrecipes.com. That is an EXCELLENT website for ideas on how to cook ANYTHING! The recipe is called Baked Pork Chops I and the submitter is Dawn Edberg. It gets great reviews on the website, and it gets great reviews in my house too! Check it out!

I, too, swear by allrecipes.com for new ideas. You can read other people's reviews of a recipe before trying it, and they even have a suggestion where you can search just by specific ingredients that you want to include.

My big suggestion for meats like poultry and chicken (even beef, if you want to try that for something special) is marinating them. Just throw it all in a bag the night before and cook as you usually do. If you don't want to whip up your own, look for ready made ones in your grocery store. I always have a few packets of Grill Mates by McCormick on hand - although there are probably other good brands, too. There are also some bottled ones (they are near the salad dressing at our store) that you can try. If the meat seems a bit tough, you can always pound it or poke it with a sharp fork before putting it in the marinade.

Good luck~

Another AllRecipes fan here! This is one that shocked my husband, as he hates anything sweet on his meat, but he LOVES this (and so do I):

Hi J., Do you have a crock pot? Throw your boring chicken in the crock pot (I use the frozen boneless/skinless 3 lb bag of chicken breast) sprinkle a whole pack of zesty Itlian dressing mix over the chicken with 1/2 cup of water and let it cook all day! The chicken is moist, tastes great and is fork tender! If you have any left-overs the chicken is great on salads too! Best wishes!

Hi I use a recipe very similar to this.

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Pork-Chops-with-Apricot-Rice...

I often will substitute dried cranberries for the raisins (because that's what I have on hand), and add another can of apricots so it isn't as dry. It's been a crowd pleaser so far!

I cook chicken in the fry pan with some onions, butter, milk, chicken broth... and thicken it up with a little flour. Then i put it in a pan with stuffing on top and bake it. It is a big hit with my husband and kids!!

Also if you fry breaded chicken you can put that in a pan with sauce and cheese and make chicken parm. Yum :-)

I don't really like pork chops so i can't help you there...sorry :(

Hi J., My husband got me the George foreman 360 GRILL, for my birthday in Nov., the large round red one with removable plates for Quesadillas, baking pan/deep Pizza pan and grill plates. It is fantastic! For Christmas he got me the G. Foreman COOKBOOK for the grilling machines, and I am going to peruse the book and see what great pork and chicken recipes I can get out of there for you... I just want to know something. ANY CUISINE ok? Like spicy? Cos I know they have THAI and INDIAN and CARRIBEAN or CAJUN style spicy recipes and other ethnic lands. Do you want any of those? ANd also, WHAT GRILL do you have? You don't have the one with the GRIDDLE/ PIZZA PLATE do you? Cos that makes a difference in the recipes I will send you...

I made some in the crock pot that was SO easy and pretty tasty. It was from a southern Living cook book. I can dig up the recipe if you are interested. I think i just coated the chops with flour and maybe a pinch of ground mustard, browned them in a pan, poured the left over flour into some beef broth and threw everything in the crock pot. Tender Pork Chops with gravy. I served it with buttered noodles. YUm

I would also suggest. allrecipe.com they are great, because there are reviews that help you learn more about cooking and usually they have pictures and you can just print your recipe and it's all free no registration to hassle with or anything. there is also Saving Dinner that you might try.

have fun experimenting.

J.:
I love to cook and so will you. I watched my mom, grand mom and older sisters in the kitchen all my life. I'm not sure if you like fried foods; but if you do, wash your chops off in cold water, then add 1/2 tsp of pepper, seasoning salt, garlic powder and meat tenderizer. If you fry, cover chops with flour and add to hot oil (be careful). Now, if baking add about 1 tbsp of butter, cover with foil and bake on 300 for about 2 1/2 hrs. or until the meat is cooked. Remember, with pork, you have to cook slow. The same would apply for chicken too. Only bake chicken at 350. Good luck.

Hi J.,
For pork chops, I like to use shake n bake but bake them for way longer then the directions say to make them nice and crispy. I have also cooked pork chops all day in the crock pot with sauerkraut.

HI,J., yes i have a site where i get all kinds of food help. go to, ____@____.com you like. my mom &grandmom where great polish cooks, but i still like other ideas. pgordon

Hi J.,
I,m sorry, but I am not good with pork chops. I do, have a great and easy chicken recipe:
Crowd Pleasing Baked Chicken

Chicken parts with skin on (I make my wings this way also)
Salt
Pepper
Your Favorite Dipping Sauce

Preheat oven 425°

Put Chicken skin side up in an oven proof pan (I use a foil lined cookie sheet). Season chicken with Salt and Pepper. Bake for 1 hour. Remove from pan and serve.

Wing Sauce:
½ c. Frank’s Red Hot sauce
1-3 Tbs. Butter

In a small sauce pan, over low heat, mix Frank’s Red Hot and butter until combined. Add more butter for milder sauce and less butter for hotter sauce.

Honey BBQ Sauce:
½ c. BBQ sauce
Honey (to taste)

In a small sauce pan, combine BBQ Sauce and honey. Serve warm.
Good luck

in a 9x13 baking dish:
Slice potatoes into 1/2-inch slices...place them on the bottom of the pan (cover the bottom). Place sliced onions on top of potatoes. Season pork chops on both sides. Mix 2 cans cream-of-mushroom soup with 2/3 cup of milk. Pour over chops. Cover & bake at 350 for 45 minutes.

I have two favorite pork chop recipes!

1.) Brown both sideds of bonesless pork chops in a little buttler in frying pan. Add a can on "Delmonte petite diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano" cover and simmer 20 mins. Delish and sooo easy!

2.) Spray a 9 X 13 baking dish with cooking spray. Spread a 21oz can of apple pie filling in bottom and top with pork chops. Prepare a 6oz box of stove top stuffing and spread on top of chops. Cover with foil and bake at 375 for 30 mins. Uncover and bake an addl 10 minutes, or until chops are done. Enjoy!

Not sure about chops, but for chicken and hamburger, my 3 favorite spices are garlic powder, seasoned salt and black pepper. I learned the combo from a boyfriend years ago and it has never failed me. Just shake 'em on as you cook, the flavor soaks in. It'll be a little more clean-up on the George, but hubby will love it.

Hi J.,
This is how we make them. We dip in a beaten egg and then into a shallow bowl of Italian seasoned breadcrumbs. Then place on a cooking sheet sprayed lightly with Pam and bake in the oven at 350 for about 40-50 minutes or until done. Kind of like a homemade Shake & Bake--which is yummy too! Can do same with boneless chicken rests or chicken tenderloins.

TONS! If you need the Tastefully Simple ingredients & don't already have a consultant, I would be happy to become yours...one of the best things about our products is that a little bit goes a long way, so they're very economical, and there are dozens of ideas for each.

My hubby, kids and I all love this recipe that is actually a weight watchers recipe (definitely nice when the whole family loves it:). I modified it because it was orignally for a pork roll. The best part is we tend to have all or nearly all the ingredients at home.

Anyway, you cook the pork chops - you can still do them on the Forman grill. In the meantime, mix together 1 cup of fresh or frozen cranberries, 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar firmly packed and 2 apples, peeled, cored and chopped.

In a saucepan, heat up the cranberries, brown sugar, BBQ sauce and apples and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let simmer for about 15 minutes. Spoon over cooked pork chops and dinner is done.

We often make this once a week and even make it for company because most people seem to love it. I am not a big cranberry fan, but the taste isn't too strong in here.

Enjoy:)
