Pork Chops with the Twist

Pork Chop with the Twist is my family’s favorite dish. To prepare it, doesn’t take a lot of time and produces tender and juicy also savory and flavorful taste. According to Wikipedia, pork chop, like other meat chops, is loin cut taken perpendicularly to the spine of the pig, and there are two kinds of pork chops: bone-in and boneless also, thin cut or thick cut. It is up to you what type of meat do you want to use, but bone-in Pork Chops with the Twist are more juicy than boneless also, with extra flavor. If you choose to use a thick cup pork chops, it takes to bake a little longer ( around 5 minutes longer). Besides, I add potatoes to bake together with pork chops so; the vegetables receive a special taste from marinade.

My recipe is a little different than everybody’s else because of meat preparation; before I start bake pork chops, I marinade them around two hours. Meanwhile, I can take care of other things.

 How to marinate the meat for Pork               Chops with the Twist

                       First option:

Italian dressing, chopped onions, and garlic also, cilantro, oregano, and chili or cayenne pepper, thyme. I like to add the meat tenderizer to the marinade. Also, add whole black peppers and bay leaves.

                       Second option:

Teriyaki original dressing, chopped onions, and garlic, whole black peppers and bay leaves.

                Workflow for marinating meat:

Take a medium size of the bowl and put pork chops to it. Then, using option one or option two, mix everything. Put to refrigerate for at least one hour ( two hours – is better).

                        We need :

A cutting board, knives, baking pan, different sizes of bowls.

           Pork Chops with the Twist

Pork chops 3 ( bone-in or boneless)

Onions 1 big size

Cheese 3 oz. shredded ( Colby Jack)

Mayonnaise 3 big tablespoons

                            First Part of Workflow:

Pork chops with the twist
Preparation of pork chops

First, chop onions and shred cheese.

Second, put pork chops to the baking pan.

Next, sprinkle chopped onions on the top of a pork chop.

Then, add mayonnaise (one big tablespoon on each pork chop) on the top of onions.

Finally, sprinkle shredded cheese.

                                                  TIPS:

One: you can use any kind and flavor of the cheese. I like Colby Jack because the top of the pork chop becomes a brown color.

Two: if there any dressing leftover, pour to baking pan.

        Second Part of Workflow:

        Baking the Pork Chops with the Twist

When pork chops are ready to bake, you need to add a half-cup of water and sprinkle a little of salt. Then, cover the baking pan with aluminum foil. After that, preheat the oven to 400 F and bakes 15min ( or 10) or until l pork chops have an internal temperature of 155F. Then, take the foil off and bake around 5 min more or until cheese becomes a brown colo

        Side dishes fit pork chops with the twist: 

Mashed potatoes

Baked/ roasted potatoes

French fries

Boiled potatoes

Rice

                               Vegetables:

Roasted carrots

Squash (any kind)

Green beans

Asparagus

Boiled/roasted cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini

TIP: if you decided to bake potatoes together with pork chops than cut potatoes in the smaller pieces. To bake potatoes takes longer than meat.

Enjoy eating the Pork Chops with the Twist.

Bon Appetit

    Simple food recipes for busy moms is an excellent topic for focus. Many working and stay at home mothers are certainly looking for easy and affordable meals. your pork chop with a twist recipe is explained well and I like the way you provide a step-by-step recipe for preparation and cooking.

    You make the recipe look very appealing through your pictures. Funny, I stopped eating pork a long time ago, but your meal looks so good that I might have to rethink that.

    Great ideas!

    God bless you!

    Yum yum. I am always looking for new ways to prepare my favourite meat. I like this recipe because I would be able to do the whole process from marinade to the table without having to stand over the stove. The flavors you used are also what I like except that I would add a tiny sprinkle of salt either in the marinade or in the cooking. Thank you !

    Having kids mean always being on the hunt for new recipes. Enjoyed reading the prep work on the pork with a twist.

    Anytime I make pork it always comes out too tough, any idea for that would be great.

    The way you have plated everything makes it look so delicious. So much color on that plate, visually it’s very appealing.

    Are you a professional cook?

    You need to add a meat tenderizer; it softens the meat. Yes, I am a professional cook.

    This is a very easy breakdown on how to make this pork chop with twist. Although am not a pork lover but the way you ruled out  the preparation is already making me wondering how delicious it would be. Will it give a close resemblance when I use turkey or beef to replace pork in the preparation? Which one is a better alternative among the two? This is a very useful review that worth revisiting.

      Sure, you can replace pork to any kind of meat

    Hi; I liked your Pork chops recipes, Is there any other foods to serve with the Baked Pork Chops than those Potatoes and Carrot mentioned?

     The bone Pork Chops is the juicy tasty for me. I am a little cautious, though, as I am not sure if the menu would have an adverse effect on my heart and blood sugar levels.

    Hi, thanks for posting this.

    I’d never considered using mayonnaise as an ingredient when baking meat. 

    Marinading makes a huge difference to meat, especially if you’re cooking it in the oven.
    Your recipe sounds delicious. I’m going to try the Italian herb variation although I might try it with turkey steaks instead.

    I like trying new types of food and this surely is one I’m going to prepare very soon. This appears very easy to prepare and guide makes it easy to follow.

    My question is, what is it good for; breakfast, lunch or dinner? And what quantity of the ingredients can serve a family of four?

    Thanks once again for sharing your recipe with us.

    Wow such easy process to arrive at it. I haven’t tried it before and this is my first time seeing a description of it, its recipe and procedure to making it. However I would love to give it a try by weekend when I am home with my family. It would mean a lot to my kids trying a whole new meal. Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you so much for this post! That looks delicious… I can’t wait to try it out! I would have never thought to add mayonnaise to this recipe! What is your favorite, yet quick, meal utilizing beef? I wish my kiddos would eat pork chops as my hubbie loves them, but they just won’t! I am going to try this out for he & I maybe for an at-home date night with some wine! ((:

    I enjoyed pork chops with a twist.  First of all, the recipe was great, but the layout for the page with “workflow” for each of the various parts of the process was easy to follow and thorough.  I also appreciated the suggestions for things that would go with this type of pork chop.  The site is certainly something that is needed today.  Although I am not a “busy mom”, I enjoy cooking and find this site very helpful.  I also looked at “stuffed mini meatloaf” because I fixed my own version of that last night.  Yours is similar.  With this article, I noticed the information you offered before getting into the recipe.  This is a great idea.  I look forward to more articles.  You have a clear, practical, fun site.

    You are such a lifesaver! I literally ran out of ideas on what to make for my kids tomorrow, that wouldn’t take me much time to prepare as it would be a very busy day for me.

    I just love everything about this pork chops and I know the kids would love to try out something new.

    Would drop in again to let you know how it goes.

    Thanks for sharing..

    Cheers

    This recipe looks delicious. It sounds easy to make and marinating it would definitely tenderize the meat to help it be juicy and tender. It is sometimes hard to get pork just right and it can be over cooked and dry but this recipe makes it look like it comes out perfect. My pork chops do not always come out the way I want them to. I have over cooked them trying to make sure the meat is done. 

    I am always looking for different ways to cook them too. I am going to try out this recipe to test it out.

      This recipe prevents the dryness of the meat. Enjoy!

    Wow, I like how detailed the post is and the twist on the recipe. I normally don’t like pork because my mom used to make pork all the time, but this looks good and I would definitely have to try it out. I would definitely show this to my mom so she can make this in the future. Thanks for sharing this.

    I know this website is centred around busy moms but I gotta say this would be a great recipe for any kitchen, busy moms all the way to senior foodies as well.  Some of us seniors are always looking for simpler, more healthy meals to cook and even though we are retired it seems that many of us have less time for those things we need to do to take care of ourselves.

    My wife actually does up a nice roasted veggies combo with yam, asparagus, parsnips, spuds, cauliflower and broccoli from time to time.  These “chops with a twist” would fit real nice with them.

    I like anything with cheese on it so I can’t wait to try out this one.

      As I am a mom and grandma of three kids and three grandkids, I am always busy. I love to hear from my family and other people that I prepare tasty food. You are right, and my recipes are great for any kitchen. Also, any kind of vegetables is fit to the pork chops.

    Great-looking site and lots of inspiration for all of us! As a self-made food lover, I like your idea to create simple but very delicious recipes and to help people to start to make food instead of eating half-ready or ready-to-eat foods that are usually pretty unhealthy. I have been cooking with my son since he was 3 years old kid or almost a baby boy. Hopefully, you accept one cooking dad to your recipes for moms ? 🙂 Have you consider to start to make a newsletter that sends some extra recipe for subscribers? It would be a nice idea but just in my opinion.

      Haha, of course, I accept everyone who likes to cook! My two sons are cooks also! And daughter loves to cook from scratch using Pinterest ( she likes to try new recipes).

      I was thinking about the newsletter, maybe a little bit later.

    I just bought some pork chops and this looks like a little different from my mushroom soup covering before the oven.
    I have a chicken recipe that is very close to this for the pork chop.
    How much time should I allow before cooking to get this all together, my normal is just put chops in the pan and cover with a little soup.
