Pork chops are one of those foods that really fit the Fall season to me. We even have the Preble County Pork Festival this month in Eaton, Ohio. One of their most popular food items is grilled thick pork chops. So it’s not just me!
Both Bill and I remember our respective mothers fixing simple pan fried pork chops when we were growing up. Truth be told, though, those were often a bit on the dry side. Common practice back then was to cook any pork well done. But times (and pork) have changed, and we don’t need to turn our chops into shoe leather for safe eating. LOL
These turned out tender and moist. Make sure you have a simple probe thermometer at the ready and cook to the specified temperature. And that’s really all it takes.
These are quick and easy, flavorful, and pair with any number of sides and vegetables. Enjoy, and don’t forget to check back on Wednesday and Friday for my other two recipes for Fall Flavors.
