New Week, new Recipe

Okay, so we had a coupon for Pork Chops from Costco, so on Saturday we went there and got some. We honestly have never done our own pork chops before, I remember having them on very rare occasions as a kid, usually just cooked in the oven and eaten with applesauce, if my memory serves. At any rate, we wanted to do it right, so we tried two ways of doing it to see how they worked out. One was just with a "Spade Ranch" pork seasoning rub that we rubbed on two of them and cooked them in the oven. The other was a very well reviewed recipe we found online...

"Yummy" Pork Chops

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups Italian-style salad dressing
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 boneless pork chops

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a bowl, mix the Italian-style salad dressing, soy sauce, and pepper.
  2. Place the pork chops in a skillet over medium heat, and cover with the dressing mixture. Cover skillet, and cook pork chops 25 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove cover, reduce heat to low, and continue cooking to desired doneness.
The result: This was easy to make and we had seen a review where someone added fresh garlic to it, so we added a couple of cloves of that as well. In all honesty, we liked it fine, but it didn't wow us, we actually preferred the Spade Ranch rub...

I grew up a "shake'n'bake pork chop" girl. We'd pair that with rice-a-roni (chicken seasoning style) and then cinnamon applesauce. Mm mm. Good childhood memories with that meal! Alex isn't a big fan of the shake'n'bake pork chops so we rarely make them but when I do, I usually just broil or bake his plain with salt and pepper or, like you guys did, some sort of generic rub that's in our seasonings.

I am not much of a pork chop person, but Neal would love it if I tried out this recipe! Thanks for sharing!
