The easiest, no-fuss, most amazing pork chops ever, made in 20 min from start to finish. You can’t beat that!
By Chungah, Damn Delicious
I made these pork chops for the first time in July of 2011. Yes, 4 very long years ago. But I realized that the old photos did not do the dish any justice so I made it once again to tell you that this needs to be made as soon as possible. Preferably tonight.
