### Tips: - When choosing pork chops, look for ones that are at least 1 inch thick. This will ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking. - To make sure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check their internal temperature. The chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. - To add extra flavor to the pork chops, marinate them in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking. - When cooking the pork chops, use a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. This will help to sear the chops and create a nice crust. - Once the pork chops are seared, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook them for 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. - To make the pizza sauce, simply combine crushed tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, dried oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. - To assemble the pork chops, top them with the pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and your favorite pizza toppings. - Bake the pork chops in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. - Serve the pork chops immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes or a salad. ### Conclusion: Pizza pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.
