My guys love pork and will eat it just about any way, but I'm a little more picky. Normally I do chops pan fried with panko and cheese, but Donna C's recipe in Taste of Home's 5 Ingredient Comfort Food caught my eye because of the cornbread mix, which I happened to have in the pantry.
The only change I made to the recipe was to use thinly sliced center cut chops instead of slicing up a pork loin. The package I had was over a pound, so I doubled the breading ingredients. I held out the salt because I prefer to sprinkle on kosher salt after frying.
I had no intention on blogging this recipe because it's hard to get decent pics late in the day without dragging out a light box and eating cold food. I took a couple quick snaps with my cellphone and sat down to eat.
Clean plates all around. None of used the recommended sauces, I thought they were great as is. I served them with some steam in bag green beans and some ready in 90 second microwaveable rice. Delicious, budget friendly and a new family favorite!
