Crusted Pork Chops

One of my dad's most favorite meats to eat is pork chops. So anytime I'm make pork chops whether they are grilled, fried or baked I always think of him and can hear him say, "Son, that's good". That's probably one of the greatest things about cooking is the memories it can make and bring back. So here's my Crusted Pork Chops.

• 3 lbs boneless pork chops or country style ribs - THAWED ( again the amount of meat you need is determined by the number you are feeding - I try to always use boneless cause it can really cut down on your cooking time)



• 3 c. of crushed corn flakes (you can measure them out and put all 3 c. in a 1 gallon Ziploc bag and then gently crush them---LEAVE THEM IN THE BAG, IT WILL SAVE YOU SOME HASSLE)



• 1/2 tsp of salt



• 1/2 tsp of pepper



• 1/2 tsp of garlic salt



• 1 tsp of paprika

Pre-heat your oven to 375 and line a cookie sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.

Combine the salt, pepper, garlic salt, and paprika in the Ziploc bag that you have your crushed corn flakes in. Seal it and shake gently to mix. I can't stress enough to make sure you have sealed the Ziploc bag before you go to town shaking it.

You can get 4 -5 chops or ribs in the bag at a time. Seal the bag and shake them to coat the meat with the corn flake mixture. Repeat this until you have gotten all the chops coated.

Place them on the foil lined cookie sheet and put in the oven for about 35 mins. Depending on your oven it may take a bit longer. Make sure you don't over cook them cause then they will be dry. If your pork is thawed out then you are less likely to over cook them.

You can serve them with whatever you family's favorite side dishes are. We ate ours with white rice and a spinach salad. Actually, Rick and I ate our with white rice and a spinach salad. My kids ate theirs with white rice and ketchup. Gotta love the ever presence of ketchup on your kids plates.
