My husband eats pork, I do not. So I rarely fix pork, but I wanted a special treat. We're also working on having left overs for lunch the following day, so I hoped I could safely make pork chops without waste.
I got four pork chops at the grocery. I looked for a smaller pack but the only one with three in it had three HUGE ones, so I decided on the smaller ones hoping they would cook through better.
Baked pork chops in mushroom wine sauce
The recipe I used I modified some, because I didn't have all the ingredients on hand:
Pork chops
Bread crumbs
One egg
Seasonings to taste
Olive oil
One can cream of mushroom soup (10.75 oz)
2/3 cup white wine
The original recipe called for less wine and some milk.
Preheat oven to 350 f.
I rinsed the chops and patted them dry, then dredged through the egg and covered in bread crumbs. I was supposed to season them before doing this, but I was running slightly behind schedule and forgot.
In a skillet with a few tablespoons of oil quickly fry the chops until the bread crumbs are browned. (About one minute each side or less.) Put into a dish, cover, and put into the oven for half an hour.
Take the chops out and pour cream of mushroom and wine over chops. Replace in oven for another half hour.
Eat.
Zucchini Corn Casserole
Four cups grated zucchini (I guessed)
Two eggs, beaten
One package Jiffy corn muffin mix
One onion, chopped (I had a giant onion so I used 2/3 onion)
Salt and pepper
8 oz cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
Preheat oven to 350 f.
Beat eggs, combine onion, shredded zucchini, corn muffin mix, and salt. Stir in 4 oz shredded cheddar cheese. Put into greased casserole pan (I used my smaller pan but it would have been thinner in a larger pan, in the smaller pan it was nearly to the top). Top with remaining cheese.
Bake 60 minutes.
The picky eater liked the pork chops, he said they were moist and that the pork wasn't over powered by the wine.
He loved the zucchini corn casserole. I even liked it. It was sweet and moist and kind of like cake. Good ole comfort food. With vegetables!
