Day 5

Tonight for dinner we had Baked Pork Chops with baked potatoes and green beans. It was hard to get motivated to cook dinner because it was my best friends birthday and I would have much rather ate at Lings and we also had a very very very late lunch. But I still stuck to the goal and cooked dinner we just ate later than normal.
You might be wondering what that is in the green beans. BACON!!!! Bacon is so good with green beans, it might kill the healthiness of the green beans but still delicious.
VERDICT:


That is right both of the kids gave this meal a thumbs up. They both enjoyed it ALOT! The hubby really enjoyed it to. The argument was who was going to take the leftovers to work on Monday. I of course agreed to let him but he said that depends on how good dinner is tomorrow night.
Recipe:
BAKED PORK CHOPS
4-6 pork chops, boneless
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp seasoning salt
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 c. flour
2 c. Italian style seasoned bread crumbs
4 tbsp olive oil
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 c. milk
1/3 c. white win
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Rinse pork chops, pat dry, and season with garlic powder and seasoning salt to taste. Place the beaten eggs in a small bowl. Place the flour in a gallon size food storage bag and gently shake the chops in the flour, one at a time. Dip in the beaten eggs, and coat liberally with bread crumbs. (Sprinkle the bread crumbs on a dinner plate and press chops into the crumbs.) Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the pork chops 5 minutes per side or until the breading appears well browned. Transfer the chops to a 9x13x2 inch baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for one hour. While the chops are baking, combine the mushroom soup, milk and white wine in a medium bowl. After the pork chops have baked for an hour, remove from oven and pour soup mixture over top. Replace foil and bake for another 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
TIP: I would base the amount of cooking time on how thick and big the pork chops are. The ones I used did not need the entire cooking time. Use your best judgement.
