Not Yo Mamas Italian Style Pork Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Brown chops in oil in a skillet.
• Place chops in the bottom of the crockpot.
• Cover chops with peppers, onions, and artichoke hearts.
• Stir together remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
• Pour mixture over vegetables in the crockpot.
• Cover crockpot and cook on high for 3-3 1/2 hours on high or on low for 5-8 hours or until pork chops are just cooked through and tender (your time may vary with your appliance so check!).
• Serve with cooked noodles, rice, or crusty Italian bread, if desired (I also sprinkled with Parmesan and red pepper flakes).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• In a medium bowl, combine the crushed saltines, Parmesan cheese, Italian-style seasoning and garlic powder and mix together well.
• Dip the chops in the melted butter and then dredge each chop in the cracker mixture, coating all sides thoroughly. Place the chops in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 30 to 40 minutes, or until internal pork temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

Steps:

• Season chops on both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
• Fry in deep, hot skillet with oil til lightly browned on both sides.
• Remove to a platter. Wipe out excess oil and fat with a paper towel.
• Add rest of ingredients and stir to mix.
• Add chops and top each (covering completely)with most of the sauce, leaving some on the bottom underneath each chop.
• Place on tight-fitting lid, and bring to a simmer.
• Simmer for about 1 hour on LOW heat til very tender, stirring sauce ocaisionally so it doesn't burn or stick. (*I didn't need to turn these, but did always make sure they were totally covered with the sauce to keep them moist.).
• Serve over or with mashed potatoes, rice or noodles.
• Note: I made 3 pork chops, and there was plenty of gravy to go with our mashed potatoes. Served them also with green beans, bread and butter and a nice salad! :).
• *If making 4 chops, there might not be enough gravy to top mashed potatoes or noodles, etc., so plan ahead and either make more sauce or top what you are serving it with, with a little butter.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute peppers and mushrooms in 1 tablespoon oil until tender. Remove and keep warm., Sprinkle chops with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In the same skillet, brown chops in remaining oil. Add the marinara sauce, olives, remaining salt and pepper, and reserved pepper mixture. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until a thermometer inserted in pork reads 145°, 10-15 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
