- 2. Next dip battered pork chops in plain bread crumbs.Thoroughly coat each pork chop on both sides. Spray a triangular pan with nonstick Pam spray. Layer pork chops in pan. Place in oven and bake for 1-1/2 hours. Turn pork chops over periodically so they can evenly brown on both sides. Do this until done. Enjoy.

PORK CHOPS WITH CREOLE ONIONS AND PAN SAUCE
This is one of my dream-it-up recipes. I had some pork loin chops from a pork loin that I had had cut into chops on sale and an onion that I was worried would go bad before we got back from vacation. The preparation and cooking times are an estimate. The onion idea comes from a fast food restaurant that used to be in the area, Short Stop, that served Diablo Burgers: cheeseburgers with onions and bell peppers sauteed in butter and Tony's. I didn't have any bell pepper (plus I don't think it would have worked flavor-wise here).

Steps:
- In your largest, widest NONSTICK skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat (I have a ten-level electric stove top -- so I melt it on 8).
- Once it bubbles, add in the onion. Stir-fry/saute the onion in the butter. The key here is to make the edges of the onion brown and crispy. If the onion starts to get too dark for you, you can turn down the heat, but the goal is for the onion to brown -- not caramelize -- but turn mahogany.
- Once the onion is softened and brown, dredge the chops lightly in flour. You are not making chicken fried pork steak here, so lightly is the key (a fine dusting).
- Scoot the onion to one side of the pan with a nonstick-skillet safe spatula and place chops in the pan. Sear both sides of the chops.
- Meanwhile, on the other side of the skillet, sprinkle Tony's over the onions and toss lightly to spread that Creole-y goodness. If you wish to reduce the sodium, you can use Tony's more spice or one of the Creole seasoning recipes on 'Zaar.
- Once pork chops are cooked through, pour water over the contents of the whole pan and let the skillet simmer until the water and browned bits form a yummy pan sauce of the consistency you wish.
- Note: You are NOT making gravy. That is why you don't want to use self-rising flour or too much flour. A little dab will do 'ya.
- Note Part 2: It is extremely important that all of this be done in a single skillet because otherwise the pan sauce won't have the mixture of the onion, butter, pork browned bits, and Creole Seasoning. An electric skillet on a fairly high setting should be okay, as well.
- Note Part 3: I served this with one of my twice-baked potato OAMC concoctions, but I think the pan sauce would be good over mashed potatoes or rice.

PORK CHOPS CREOLE
Steps:
- Brown chops well in butter with salt and pepper. Remove chops from pan. Add onion and pepper strips to grease in pan. Add tomatoes, garlic and bay leaf and mix well. Return chops to pan and cover. Simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours over low heat. Turn chops 2 or 3 times. Add water or tomato juice if liquid cooks down too much.
Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in, center-cut pork chops that are about 1 inch thick. This will ensure that the chops are juicy and flavorful.
- Season the pork chops well: Season the pork chops with a generous amount of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder, to taste.
- Sear the pork chops: Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned. This will help to seal in the juices and flavor.
- Reduce the heat and cook the pork chops: Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the pork chops for an additional 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked through. The internal temperature of the pork chops should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest: Let the pork chops rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute and make the pork chops more tender.
