Tex-Mex Pork Chops

I found this recipe in one of Rachael Ray's magazines a few years ago and gave it a try.  The girls and my friends truly enjoyed it.  The next time I make this I'm going to try it with some chicken or fish. 

Ingredients:

1 small onion, chopped
6 boneless pork loin chops
1 cup salsa
1 can chopped green chilies
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp pepper

In a large skillet coated with butter-flavored spray (I used reg. Olive Oil Pam), saute onion until tender.  Add pork chops; cook over med. heat for 5-6 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.

Combine the salsa, chilies, cumin and pepper; pour over chops.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer until heated through.

Enjoy!

Baked BBQ Pork Chops


From time to time I give my girls a little treat!  I call pork chops a treat because I rarely cook pork chops...maybe once a year or on special occasions.  When I make pork chops fried, baked, grilled, etc. I think of my mom because she loves her some fried pork chops!  She can have them for breakfast, lunch or dinner!  LOL!

I remember when I was visiting her one weekend she was up one Sunday morning getting ready for church frying pork chops.  So I said, oh your starting dinner early.  She looked at me like I was crazy and said, no this is my breakfast and you better make you and the girls something to eat before we leave.  Unbelievable...she had at least 3 pieces in the frying pan!  SMH!  LOL!  Well at least she still had a bag full of seasoned ones in a zip lock bag in the fridge.  I told my girls to grab a bowl of cereal and I was fine with my morning coffee. 


Ingredients:
4 pork chops
S&P, to taste
1 Tbsp oil
About 1 1/2 cup(divided) Spicy BBQ Sauce II 
Approximately 1/3 cup of water

Preheat oven 350 degrees.

In a large skillet over med. high heat, heat oil, add pork chops and brown both sides.  Remove from skillet and set aside. 

Add water to sauce to 1/2 cup of sauce and pour into the bottom of baking dish.  ( I add water so that the pork chops don't stick to the bottom of the dish.)  Add pork chops and pour 1 cup of the Spicy BBQ Sauce over pork chops. 

Cover and roast for 40 minutes.  Uncover pork chops and roast for 20 minutes or more. 

Enjoy!

Spicy Pork Chops

All who knows me know that I don't cook much pork except for bacon and sausage. I love me some crispy bacon!!! But my girls love some pork chops, pork ribs, ham, etc. So at least once a year I'll pick up some pork chops or pork ribs from the market to make for them. My ex loves him some pork chops so when we were together they girls enjoyed having him over for dinner...pork chops, pork roast, ham, or pork ribs at least once week! LOL!

Sorry for the non-pic blogs but I'm going through my cook book and posting as I go along. I've made these recipes years ago and wasn't really thinking about taking pics back then or was using my crappy digital camera at the time which I've passed on to the girls once I got my new one! LOL! They haven't used the old camera but a few times and got bored with it! Anyway, back to the recipe! My family truly enjoyed these spicy pork chops! I made it for a few Thanksgiving gatherings as well and they are always one of many appreciated food item on the menu...always the first to go first! You can make these chops on the grill, broiler or in the oven! Either way you go you can't go wrong!

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp EVOO
1 tsp chili powder
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp oregano, or 2 tsp fresh, chopped
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp sugar
4 boneless pork loin chops

Preheat grill or broiler. Combine the first 5 ingredients in a small heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool 3 minutes. Stir in vinegar and sugar. Arrange pork chops in a baking dish. Pour marinade over pork and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the fridge at least 30 minutes.

Grill or broil pork chops 6 to 7 minutes per side or until cooked throughout. Season with salt to taste.
