LAZY DAY PORK CHOPS

Lazy Day Pork Chops image

Very simple and tasty, yet very lazy way to make pork chops or pork steaks. I make this about once a month or so. As often as my husband will let me get away with before he starts to complain. For pork steaks or more chops you might have to use an extra can of soup. I might be weird but I just love pork chops fixed this way! (Tastes better if the pork chop has some fat on it.)

LAZY COOK'S PORK CHOPS

Fast prep. and into the oven! Do take note that Sweet Thai Chilli Sauces do differ from one brand to the next: I have 3 brands at the moment and they are definitely not similar, and one is markedly hotter than the others. The Maille mustard should be available anywhere. This is a delicious, tangy sauce for pork, and thickens while baking. I find pork loin chops which are simply done in a pan are often hard -- but not when baked with this sauce. I cut most of the fat rind off and leave on only a strip of fat for juiciness.

Tips:

Choose the right pork chops. Look for chops that are at least 1-inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the chops stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
Season the pork chops liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the meat.
Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking pork chops, it's important to give them enough space so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chops will steam instead of sear, and they won't be as flavorful.
Cook the pork chops over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the chops while cooking them through evenly on the inside.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to your desired doneness. The USDA recommends cooking pork chops to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well done.
Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to redistribute the juices and make the chops more tender.

Conclusion:

Pork chops are a versatile and affordable cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can cook delicious and flavorful pork chops that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give pork chops a try.
