Mom's Chops by Paula TN


4 to 6 pork chops
1 envelope onion/mushroom soup mix
1 c. sliced mushrooms (I use the ones in the can)
1 tsp. Season-All
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. onion salt
water (see directions)

Mix all seasonings, except soup mix; sprinkle over chops. Cover and refrigerate. (I've never done that step) Mix soup mix with amount of water called for on package. Pour over chops; add mushrooms. Bake at 350° for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

These are so tender they melt in your mouth. Wonderful with mashed potatoes, rolls, and green beans.

Several Pork Chope Recipes by various cooks

Mrs C:
grilled on the bbq and add bbq sauce and some seasoning.


Burpin:
Well, thin pork chops are good fried in a little bit of butter in a non-stick frying pan for about 10 minutes per side. Then salt and pepper them and serve.

Or thick ones are good baked at 350 for about 45 minutes...sprinkle with seasonings before baking. Oh ya, put them in any baking dish no extra oil needed.



maconmama79:
I have two ways that I do them that my family seems to like....

First of all...place pork chops in a baking pan, salt and pepper, put sliced potatoes and onions over them. Season to taste. Cover pan and bake 350 degrees for one hour.


Second one...put pork chops in baking pan. (You can brown them first if you want.) Pour about one cup of apple juice over them and bake, covered, for one hour at 350 degrees. These turn out very moist and kind of glazed.


Linderlou:
I have a pork chop recipe posted under the one-skillet thread. It uses a scalloped potato mix. It's really yummy. In fact, seeing your post makes me want to cook it for supper tonight.

I also like to oven-fry them. I take about 1/3 cup of seasoned, dry bread crumbs; 1/3 cup of corneal; a little bit of salt and pepper; Shake all together in a plastic zip-lock storage bag. Take 4,1"-thick bone-in pork chops. Dip in milk then shake chops one at a time in crumb mixture. Bake at 375° for 35-45 minutes, or until chops are no longer pink.



Rene:
I brown mine on both sides and then pour a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup over them. Let them simmer on med-low heat for about an hour. The soup makes a gravy. Delicious!

When I was a kid the only way I had them was fried in oil and served with breakfast food for dinner.


Emily:How do I make pork chops? with applesauce, of course!
Pork chops and applesauce--can hear Peter Brady (or was it Bobby?) saying that in my mind!


Toymom:
Regular shakenbake or bbq with seasonings


Michelle:
I take my pork chops and brown them in an electric skillet and then remove them. Drain off the excess grease. Empty a can of cream of mushroom soup in the skillet then fill that can full of milk and pour it in. Then add a packet of lipton's onion's soup mix. Turn skillet up to boil and mix well. Add pork chops back in and let simmer for twenty minutes on each side. They will cut with a butter knife and the gravy is great over the chops and potatoes! Let me know what you think!


BethMlovesJesus:
On the grill!....
I marinate them in Worcestershire sauce and then put them on the grill and season with McCormick's Grill Seasoning for Steak on both sides. Mmmm! Anyone we've served them to, requests we make them anytime they come back!


Kinsa:
Nothing compares to having them done in the crock pot...

When they are cooked in the crock pot, they will literally fall apart on you - so delicious!

There are two ways I do them in the crock pot that my family likes:

1. Like someone else mentioned, with cream of mushroom:

one can cream of mushroom
3/4 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp tapioca
2 tsp worchestershire sauce
1 beef bullion cube
1/4 tsp minced garlic
3/4 tsp thyme

Combine them all, pour over the pork chops, cook on low 8-10 hours, or high 4-5 hours

2. This one is a hit with kids - very sweet! It comes from the "Fix It and Forget It Cookbook" page 138:

Place lightly browned pork chops in cooker. Salt and pepper to taste.

Place drained 29-oz can of cling peach halves on the pork chops. (Make sure you reserve the juice.)

Combine the following ingredients and pour over the peaches and pork chops: 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground cloves, 8-oz can of tomato sauce, 1/4 cup of reserved peach juice, and 1/4 cup vinegar.

Cook on low for 3-4 hours.

Tamales by kimmer89

------------------------------------------------------------------------
This recipe is for 2 dozen tamales.

Filling
1 small onion chopped
1 small can taco sauce/or use taco seasoning or chili powder with some water
1 tbls. veg oil
1 tsp salt
4 cups chopped cooked pork or chicken

Saute onion in oil until clear. Stir in remaining ingredients. Set aside.

Masa dough
1 cup shortening or lard
2 tsp chili powder
2 1/2 cups masa harina (be sure NOT to use corn meal!)
1 tsp salt
1 3/4 cups chicken/pork stock or hot water
24 prepared corn shucks (or 24 6-inch squares aluminum foil)

Cream shortening until fluffy. Add all remaining ingredients, beating until light and fluffy or until a spoonful dropped in water floats. Divide dough into 24 parts, place on corn shucks or foil squares. Spread each to form a 4-inch square, keeping one edge even with the edge of the corn shuck/foil.

Steam above gently boiling water in covered kettle about 1 hour or until dough does not stick to foil. Serve warm.

Various suggestions for Pork Steak

mom2riandkayl

my dh grills them and they are actually pretty good that way. (don't tell him I said so!! ) I grew up w/ my dad flouring and frying it and then serving it w/ mashed potatoes and gravy. I never really cared for it that way.




KristieD

We like it....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I either grill it, broil it, or use it in a sweet and sour pork dish that we like. I sometimes put bbq sauce on them or Lawery's salt.


sara laughs
I don't think I've ever heard of a pork steak
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it like a big pork chop? I have a great recipe for baked pork chops. They never get dried out. Think it would work for a pork steak?

* 4 to 6 pork chops, 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick
* 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
* salt and pepper
* 1 can cream of chicken soup
* 1 medium onion, sliced
* 3 tablespoons ketchup
* 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Heat oil in skillet over medium heat; brown pork chops; season with salt and pepper. Drain off excess fat. Combine soup, onion, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce; pour over pork chops. Cover and bake at 350° for 45 to 60 minutes, or until chops are tender.

Serves 4 to 6.




melinda2boys
They're really best grilled..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
but you can also use it in a stir fry like Kristie D suggested. We usually grill them though.
Melinda



Kristine
You could brine them...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
have you ever tried that? It makes the meat so tender!!



mom2riandkayl
Nope... not tough if you cook them slower over low heat.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They're actually really tender.



mom2riandkayl
NOPE! Not pork chops...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Where's my dh when I need him? He's the meat guy!)

Pork chops come from the loin. Pork steak comes from either the butt (like a Boston Butt roast only sliced thinner) or the shoulder (like a blade steak). It's much more tender and has more fat around it than pork chops.

I'll double check w/ my dh later, but I think my info is accurate.


MrsHugs
What about slow cooking them with a sweet n sour sauce
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
adding pineapple, chopped onion, mushrooms, tomatoes (maybe?) and serving it with rice??

Chunk the pork steak into 1" pieces first!!
----------



mom2riandkayl
I was right, but I was confused.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Boston Butt roast comes from the shoulder, too. (Don't those people in Boston know where their bottoms are? )

The actual butt of a pig is used to make hams.

There... more info about cuts of pork than we wanted to know, huh?



morgNmacy
love it grilled w/ BBQ sauce!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Trish03
just had pork steaks!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I either grill them or bake them in the oven on my broiler pan so that the grease runs off (otherwise- ewwww) I just slather them up with bbq sauce and we love them!




Kim2005
I grill our pork steak.....like Di said, low heat.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They're delicious!

My grill tends to overcook things, so I lay a piece of aluminum foil down first and put the steaks on that and cook them.




leighfluver
yes, Di, you are right on!.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The SHoulder roast is what is cut down to make "pork Steaks". Long, and slow to cook them is one of our favorites, although, you can grill them like we did when I was growing up. They are one of the cheapest cuts of meat to purchase per pound.

I just bought one and plan to mince up bacon, onions and garlic into a paste, then cook it all on teh stovetop with some water for about 3 hours seeing as my roast weighs about 4 lbs. Steaks cooked or BRAISED in this way would cook faster. Remove the bone before serving, but not until then. It adds flavor to the dish. Serve teh "sauce" along side the meat or serve it over noodles. yummy and VERY authentically Italian.

Or, we put it in a crock pot and bake it normal and shred the meat for BBQ pork sandwiches. This is teh easiest way to accomplish your task.

Ju's suggestions souded good as well.
