Pork Chops And Applesauce

Do you like that Brady Bunch reference I made there, Kathleen? Anyway, this is a recipe for the best pork chops we have ever made. Well, that Peyton has ever made. I don't do pork chops. Apparently I tend to overcook them. Waaaay overcook them.

Peyton found this recipe in a Nancy Drew Cookbook she received years ago. Don't be fooled. They are delicious.



Just slice the onions and the lemons...
And pretend you don't see that paper towel up on the counter...

Lightly brown the pork chops...
Again...ignore the grease all over my stove...

Put everything on top of the rice, and pour the broth over it all...
Cover it with foil...

Bake it until it is all done...

And serve it up with some baked zucchini for color.

Oh. Don't forget the applesauce.
One must eat applesauce with pork chops.
Peter Brady says so.

Note:
We double the recipe.
We use thin pork chops.
We use extra rice, and we pour extra broth over top.
So...we just make more, I guess!!!

Enjoy!

  3. Never really watched "The Brady Bunch," so didn't immediately "get" the reference. :-) But agree! Apple Sauce goes with Pork!!!

    Oh mercy, I was guilty of over cooking pork, my family tells me. ,-) Yes, I remember, too. Well, I grew up in the 40's, married in '58, when pork "had" to be "well" cooked! Or so it was said. And well cooooook 'em, we did!!!!

    Actually they could be used as weapons.

    But let's not dwell on the past. ,-)))))

    Since my husband retired, he is the Chef! He enjoys cooking. I never did. I bake, but dislike daily meals. So, needless to say, he does not over cook pork.

    Gentle hugs,

  4. I love that episode! And I have never been a big fan of pork chops but this does look good! The onion and lemon probably help a lot!

  8. Megan has recently found The Brady Bunch. A channel here has it on Sunday calling it the Brady Brunch and airs episode after episode. As soon as I saw the title, Peter Brady is who came to mind! Those chops look wonderful. Oh, how I wish my guy ate rice. Megan and I might make a dish for ourselves. I'm trying to get her in the kitchen more. I hope she ends up loving it like Peyton!

  13. Billie Jo - oh YUM! I've a question: do you use regular rice and substitute the amount of water for chicken broth? What temperature do you bake it at and for approximately how long? xx
