Breaded Pork Chops
Breaded Pork Chops:
Getting this dish done truly cheap involves a bit of savvy shopping. Catch the pork chops on sale and then as described in my first shopping tips post here buy some on 'special for today' or with 'cents off coupons'.
Ingredients:
Bread crumbs
1 egg
pork chops
optional spices: black pepper, garlic essence (or powder), onion salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Break egg into medium sized bowl; you want the egg (after being beaten) to be about 1/4-1/2" depth in the bottom of the bowl.
Beat egg until it starts to get fluffy. If using garlic essence, mix it into the egg at this point.
Using a second medium sized bowl, pour in 1/8 cup of breadcrumbs(per chop), if using black pepper, garlic powder or onion salt mix it into the bread crumbs at this point.
Get a baking pan ready for the chops, I normally use 13X9 for two to three chops.
Take your pork chop and drag it through the beaten egg, being sure to wet all parts of the chop with egg. Then drag the pork chop through the bread crumbs, once again being sure to get all parts of the chop covered. The egg batter will cause the breadcrumbs to adhere to the chop. Place the pork chop in the pan.
Repeat until all your chops are ready then cover the pan with aluminum foil. (The shinier side of the foil should face the interior of the pan.)
Bake for 35 minutes then remove the aluminum foil, bake another 25 minutes without the foil. Remove pan from oven, remove chops from pan and serve. I normally serve these with a baked potato and either steamed carrots, steamed broccoli or simmered green beans.
Serves 1 person per pork chop.
Estimated cost for chops (using the price of the pork chops I got today when shopping) is:
$0.90 per chop; when served with baked potato and fresh vegetable estimated cost per portion of the meal is: $1.35-$1.50 per person.
Alternative options: This dish is also good with a spicier version. When beating the egg add Cholula or Tabasco or your other favorite liquid spice.
Another alternative for the full meal described above is to replace the potatoes with egg noodles in a garlic butter sauce, or replace the potatoes and vegetables with Burkha (noodle dish described in another post to this blog).
