PORK CHOPS WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE
Sometimes a sauce is just a sauce, but with these tender chops, it really makes the dish. If you like a little spice, mix a pinch of nutmeg with the black pepper before you sprinkle it on the meat. -Kathleen Specht, Clinton, Montana

NANA'S MELT IN YOUR MOUTH BLUE CHEESE PORK CHOPS
My Mom,(called Nana by her Grands), made these for us for years. They truly do melt in your mouth . If you are a Blue CHeese fan, these are for you. A fix and forget main dish. I always serve either rice or noodles with it so I don't miss any of the yummy gravy. Also, she used very thick bone in chops, I mostly use the boneless ones, but they really should be thick ones, no matter which type you choose.

These are quite delicious. You need to have chops at least 1 inch in thickness. You can also a use a frenched rack of pork. I have made it with two thin chops toothpicked together but the presentation is not as nice. My family really liked these, and they are quite presentable for company. Also they are fairly simple to make.

PORK CHOPS WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE
This easy, flavorful recipe comes from the December/January 2010 "Taste of Home" magazine. According to the recipe description, even those who do not like blue cheese will like this mild sauce. DH hates blue cheese, but was willing to give this recipe a try. He liked it. We used a little more butter than the recipe indicated as we found we needed some more to give the roux a good consistency. We also sprinkled our pork chops with salt and pepper, rather than just pepper.

SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS WITH BLUE CHEESE-APPLEJACK GRAVY
Steps:
- Cook bacon in a heavy skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to paper towels. Spoon off 1 tablespoon drippings from skillet and reserve; discard all but 2 tablespoons of the remaining drippings in the skillet. Add onions to skillet and sauté until golden, about 15 minutes. Push onions to one side of the skillet; add apples and sugar to the skillet and sauté until apples are golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer onions and apples to a bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon reserved bacon drippings in the same skillet. Add flour and stir 1 minute. Gradually whisk in juice, broth, and applejack. Boil until gravy thickens, whisking frequently, about 4 minutes. Add cheese and whisk until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Add onion mixture to gravy and stir until heated through.

Transfer to bowl, pour gravy over chops. Top with bacon and serve.
Tips:
- Use thick pork chops for best results. Thin chops will overcook quickly and become dry.
- Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Pan-sear the pork chops over medium-high heat until they are browned on both sides. This will help to create a flavorful crust.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the pork chops for an additional 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chops have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- While the pork chops are cooking, make the blue cheese sauce. Simply combine blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and milk in a bowl and stir until well combined.
- Once the pork chops are cooked through, transfer them to a serving platter and top with the blue cheese sauce. Serve immediately.
