We all have those meals – the ones that pull us out of dinnertime ruts. This Cheesy Pork Chops recipe is my hero. It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, with rave reviews from everyone in the house (a rarity for a food blogger’s family!).
Sure, it might not be the most groundbreaking recipe. We all probably grew up with some version of it. But that’s exactly why it’s a staple in our busy-weeknight arsenal. It’s simple, satisfying, and lets me focus on other things, especially when recipe development or blog deadlines loom.
These go great with these Creamy Garlic Green Beans.
I avoid pork products as much as possible since our bodies just have such a hard time with pork.
Our bodies do not digest pork easily. And while I love the taste of pork, it doesn’t always love me.
However, my children and husband love these Cheesy Pork Chops, so sometimes I cave and this is one of their favorites.
