PORK CHOPS IN A BUNDLE
THIS IS COMFORT FOOD! This is a easy weeknight dish. I serve it with a garden salad and some hot yeasty rolls, with butter. Made recently (2/22/2016) with Fresh green beans, it was divine! If you season lightly between the layers, it needs nothing else. ****Note: I cannot understand how they came out "raw". I see you cooked them 45 minutes, and probably threw frozen chops in. So I upped the time from 1 hour, usually plenty of time to 1.25 hours. After 1 hour 15 min. in the oven, sealed tightly in foil, at 375 degrees, they should be done. Make sure you preheat the oven first!

Tips:
- For the best results, use a meat mallet to pound the pork chops until they are about 1/4 inch thick. This will help them cook evenly and tenderize the meat.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin or even the bottom of a heavy skillet to pound the pork chops.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when you are cooking the pork chops. If you do, they will not cook evenly and will be more likely to stick to the pan.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat. This will give them time to cook through without burning.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops. They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help them retain their juices and make them more tender.
