Pork Chop Meals

Pork chops. Easy seasoning, easy prep, easier cooking.  What more do you want!  Then after they’re all done, clean up is simple. One skillet. I’ve used both a ‘grill’ cast iron skillet that gives the ‘stripes’ on the meat and just a plain cast iron. no stripes.

I like to slice these smokey chipotle pork chops at an angle and serve atop something yummmeeee. This is totally your choice.

Great Pork Chop Recipe

Think mashed taters, corn/kale combo like you see here, and, yes, there’s a recipe for this boho mixture, a turnip or cauliflower puree, black rice, sauteed onions and peppers, whatever.

Whole 30 Pork Chop Recipe

One place Ben and I love to dine is at our coffee table, so you’ll see the layout here. It’s a real ‘boho’ adventure complete with candles, napkins, wine, and a blazing fireplace!

Make it completely Whole 30 with your side dish like greens. Nothing better than pork n’ greens. Truly a Southern delight. 

Easy Pork Chop Recipes

Cooking pork chops doesn’t get any easier than this recipe. It’s all about the spice seasoning. 

Decide bone in or boneless. Choose your thickness. This will dictate how long you need to cook it. 

I’ve used both thick cut and thin cut chops. Each time, super delicious.

We had a few slices leftover and the next morning I did sunnyside up eggs with the pork. Oh, yeah, it was good!
