RECIPES FOR BAKED PORK CHOPS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Mix together black pepper, seasoning salt, garlic & onion powder. Rub evenly all over each pork chop. (Season to your taste. My husband doesnt like his as salt so I season his less.)
• Heat olive oil in a frying pan over med-high heat. Lay pork chops on pan and allow to sear for 2 minutes without moving them. Flip the pork chops over and allow to sear for 1 minute longer.
• Remove pork chops and place in an oven safe baking dish. I use a 19 x 13 pyrex baking dish.
• Pour in the water. You will want the water to come about 1/3 the way up the pork chop.
• Cover baking dish tightly. I use tinfoil and seal the sides very tight. Place in preheated oven.
• Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Your pork should be at 160 degrees when done. I would not check until at least an 1 1/2 hours have past. You will let out all the steam that is keeping the chops moist.
• The juices in the baking dish make a wonderful gravy.

Steps:

• Season pork chops with salt and ground black pepper.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook pork chops in hot butter until browned on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to a plate.
• Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the pressure cooker. Saute carrots and onion in hot butter until fragrant, about 2 minutes; add broth and Worcestershire sauce. Return pork chops to the pressure cooker pot. Set a steamer basket on top of the pork chops and place potatoes in the basket.
• Cover the pressure cooker with the lid, lock the lid, bring the cooker to high pressure, and cook under pressure for 13 minutes. Release pressure from the pot according to the manufacturer's instructions. Slice potatoes along the top and serve.
