LEFTOVER TEX-MEX PORK CASSEROLE
My family calls these kinds of dishes my "concoctions". We had a couple of thick-cut pork chops left over, so I decided to adapt a tex-mex chicken casserole I've made that the family loves. I added a little too much "juice" to the casserole and the tortilla chips were very soggy. Next time I'll try for a crispy taste. I have frozen red, green, yellow and orange bell peppers, already chopped, so I included a variety of them in this dish for color.

- Add salt and pepper to taste. I also added a pinch of sugar to tone down the acidic taste.
- Pour over the chips. Top with Velvetta and cheddar cheese.

Steps:
- 1. Slice cheese into strips.
- 2. Make a slit down into the middle of your pork chop, don't cut all the way through. Stuff slices of cheese into slit.
- 3. Using toothpicks, try to close up slit as much as possible to prevent cheese from oozing out too badly.
- 4. Drizzle baking sheet and chops with olive oil, rub chops on both sides and season both sides with Mrs.Dash Southwest and chipotle seasoning.
- 5. Lay in bread crumbs and pat both sides. NOTE: most bakery's sell jalapeno cheese bread, but I make my own. Put pop it into food processor and turn into crumbs. The cheese in the bread helps make it more moist.
- 6. Place on oiled baking sheet and spray top of chops with spray oil.
- 7. Bake at 350° for 1 hr.
