    I will never forget when my husband pulled out meat from the freezer that I packaged and asked me what “BS Chicken” was. I abbreviate for boneless skinless and he thought I was cussing at it. 😂

    My mom makes a pork chop casserole it has always been a hit with the family. You can use bone in or boneless chops even pork steaks. You will need potatoes (any kind but sweet potatoes never tried it with them) desired amount for your family, one family size can of cream of mushroom soup or two small cans, one 16oz container of sour cream. Peel and slice potatoes about quarter inch slices, in a bowl mislx the mushroom soup and sour cream together we like to use just enough milk to rinse the containers out it helps thin the mixture out just a bit, bread the pork chops in flour and your choice is seasonings. Place potatoes in the bottom of the pan even them out as you can should fully cover the bottom of pan then place the pork chops on top of the potatoes then pour the soup mixture over everything finally cover and bake untill potatoes are nearly done remove foil and bake remainder till potatoes are fork tender. I can't remember the exact amount of time and the oven goes on 350.

    Something about pork is that you need to treat it like chicken not beef. Folks cook it like it’s beef which can take a lot more heat and cook time but in truth it’s more like chicken and needs very low and slow or quick fry.

    Hi Just my two cents. I'm 62 and love to cook. I've found that there is less chance of pork chops being dry if you cook it on the bone. With a boneless pork loin, I leave it for pulled pork, and slow cooking with glazes and sauces.

    Another delish meal! Do the children have a special color plate? My kids had plates with sections so that their food didn't touch. They were picky eaters – so good to see that your kids are willing to try a bite. You present your food well and it's nicely balanced. Great job!

    Honestly it took me a couple yrs of practice and experimenting to cook pork properly to not end up with dry meat. Now it's my fave, especially when buying from our local butcher, it's like night n day compared to grocery store bought. Brining really helps, either wet or dry brining, it's amazing the difference it makes. And pay close attention to meat temp, so as not to overcook. Keep trying, you'll get the hang of it 💜

    We had pork Milanese this week. Thinly slice pork. Pound the slices very very thin. Dip in seasoned flour, egg wash, then crushed saltine that have been seasoned. Pan fry. One of my family’s favorite meals.

    Fun Fact: I have never used Shake and Bake… HOWEVER, I do remember the commercial! I was waiting for you to have a special helper in the kitchen and say “ ….. and I helped”… lol. Back up… excuse me… did you say cream cheese on the sweet potato? That is gonna be a game changer for me! Sounds AMAZING!!!!!!

    I get loins from our food bank also. I cut mine into 1 inch thick loins, pound with a meat tenderizer. I take saltine crackers and grind in my food processor and pour into a 9×13 pan. Dip your pounded loin into cold water and bread with the crackers. Dip into the water & crackers a second time, real quick, and bread again pressing firmly. Wrap individually and freeze several in a large zip lock bag. Remove from freezer, thaw and deep fry until golden brown. We fix our breaded tenderloins as sandwiches. Breaded tenderloin sandwiches seems to be an Indiana thing. They are delicious!!

    Another yummy way to prepare the thick chops is to cut a pocket into the side and stuff them. They’re good stuffed with regular stuffing, cornbread stuffing, spinach artichoke dip, just about anything!

    Here is a receipe for pork my son always asked me to make, he called it "yummy pork" when he was growing up. I cut the pork into bite sized pieces. Then coat in seasoned flour. I brown on both sides in some butter. Take out of the skillet. I then pour about 1cup cooking marsala wine in the pan to deglaze the pan for about 1 min.. I add some garlic powder. Then cover turn down to a simmer cook for 3min. then flip the meat. Cook another 3min. or until done. It makes a gravy from the flour the meat was coated in, the pork is very tender. Sorry I don't have measurements.

    I have never washed my meat and am very healthy at age of 82. It gets hot enough in cooking process to kill anything germy is my thought. Believe me in the late 50's we ate Grade B meat in North Carolina when my husband was quite low ranking in the Army.

    I like cutting my pork loin thinner…at least half of what you did….batter in egg then seasoned flour..drain on.rack and so crispy and yummy! Also same chops..thinner…in bottom of dish with chopped onions a d bell peppers then top with cream of mushroom soup. Bake till onions and bellpeppers tender…remove chops, add sour cream to gravey and serve over rice. We call them Texas pork chops. From Montgomery al 🙏 ❤️

    We love to take chops and either "smoother" them (place them either in a cake pan or crock pot and we use cream of mushroom 2-3 cans (gives a gravy for after cooking) 350 covered 1 hr. or on low 6-8hrs) or we "stuff " them ( place chops in a cake pan and prepare 1-2 boxes of stuffing only up to adding bread to water and then befroe it sets pour it over the chops and cover with foil cook at 350 1 hr). THe other way to cook them is to cut them thin and pound them out to have a breaded tenderlion sandwich.. I love watching you come up with ideas 🙂
