This is a recipe I am transferring here from an old handwritten recipe card. I have no idea where it came from, but I have made it many times over the years and we really like it. (There are several recipes for Cajun pork chops here, but the dry rub mixture in this recipe has different ingredients.)

CAJUN PORK

Tina Gantner of Matthews, Missouri writes, "It took me a few tries to perfect this recipe, but now it's a favorite in our household. More Cajun seasoning can be added, but it tends to make the dish too hot for children. Chicken breast can be substituted for the pork tenderloin and rice can be used instead of the noodles."

Tips:

  • Use thick-cut pork chops: This will help them stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Marinate the pork chops for at least 30 minutes: This will help the flavors penetrate the meat and make them even more delicious.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork chops are cooked to your desired doneness: The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making them even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

These Cajun-spiced pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The pork chops are marinated in a flavorful blend of Cajun spices, then cooked to perfection. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw.
