Well, I&#8217;ve got an idea for you. Pork chops! My family is a big fan of pork, and I typically have a package or two of pork chops stashed in the freezer. They never say, &#8220;Ugh, boring pork chops,&#8221; when I make one of these Blue Ribbon recipes.<\/p>\n<p>A go-to that I&#8217;ve been making for years, is the famous recipe where you shake a coating onto pork chops. If your family loves that too, try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/Lilliancooks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lillian Russo&#8217;s<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/main-course\/pork\/crunchy-smokey-pork-chops-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crunchy Smoky Pork Chops<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Most of my recipes are born from my cravings,&#8221; reveals Lillian. &#8220;And tonight I was craving something crunchy and smoky&#8230; so this worked out perfectly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These are some delicious and moist breaded pork chops. The Panko crumbs and mustard mixture are a real winning combo. Once baked, the crust is crispy and inside the pork chops are super tender.<\/p>\n<p>Another recipe along those shake-coated lines is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/zsneinae\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lori Kirkland-Howell&#8217;s<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/members\/browse\/list?search=Channelview%2C+TX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Channelview, TX<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/main-course\/pork\/no-bake-shake-n-bake-pork-chops.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">No Bake Shake n Bake Pork Chops<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I invented this recipe because we love Shake n Bake, but I do not like to heat up the whole house,&#8221; explains Lori.<\/p>\n<p>At first, I was unsure about this recipe. Mixing the seasoning packet in the gravy was a little gritty. But the magic happens while everything simmers.<\/p>\n<p>The pork chops are juicy and tender, and the gravy has a bold flavor with very little work. Serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice.<\/p>\n<p>We all know casseroles are always a family-favorite dinner and I suggest adding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/thepreacherswife\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tonna Canfield&#8217;s<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/members\/browse\/list?search=Ashland%2C+KY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ashland, KY<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/main-course\/chicken\/pork-chop-potato-casserole.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pork Chop Potato Casserole<\/a> to your weekly menu.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have been making this recipe for more than 20 years,&#8221; shares Tonna. &#8220;It is delicious, easy, and a great recipe to serve\u00a0company. Just add a vegetable and some bread and you have a wonderful meal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Out of the oven, the pork chops and potatoes are very tender. Mushroom soup gives the dish a very rich flavor. With only a few ingredients, this is an extremely\u00a0easy dinner to prepare when in a pinch.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Recently I purchased a whole pork loin, so I was pressed to figure out what to do with it,&#8221; says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/Torrey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Torrey Moseley<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/members\/browse\/list?search=Dallas%2C+TX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dallas, TX<\/a>). &#8220;I cut part of it into 1&#8243; chops and came up with this recipe on the fly. Whatcha know? It&#8217;s easy, quick, and actually quite tasty!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cranberry orange is a fantastic fall flavor and Torrey&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/main-course\/pork\/balsamic-cranberry-orange-glazed-pork-chops.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Balsamic Cranberry Orange Glazed Pork Chops<\/a> are perfect for the season.<\/p>\n<p>I love the savory pork chops with the glaze. It&#8217;s tart from the cranberry sauce, tangy from balsamic vinegar, and has a hint of orange. Once baked, these pork chops are put under the broiler. Broiling them creates a delicious crystallized crust on top.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is really easier than it looks when you use a packaged stuffing mix,&#8221; thinks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/me\/janenov46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jane Whittaker<\/a>. &#8220;Special enough for company, but easy enough to do on a weeknight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jane&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justapinch.com\/recipes\/main-course\/pork\/stuffed-pork-chops-4.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stuffed Pork Chops<\/a> are a fast and easy way to make a splash at dinnertime. Once plated, these look like they took forever to prepare. But, in reality, the hardest part is cutting a pocket into the pork chops for stuffing. They&#8217;re delicious.<\/p>\n<p>When wondering what&#8217;s for dinner, consider making pork chops. There are many ways to prepare them to suit your family&#8217;s preference. What&#8217;s your favorite way to prepare pork chops?
