Graham Cracker Pork Chops

Tuesday, tuesday.


the menu:

Graham Cracker pork chops
Cheesy potatoes
Rolls
Asparagus
Grapes/Strawberries


the instructions:

Bake pork chops covered at 325 for 1 1/2 hours.
Bake potatoes at 350 for 45 minutes (I will probably bake the potatoes with the pork chops, low and slow.)


the recipes:

Pork Chops (from Denny's mom)

Dip chops in melted butter and then coat in graham cracker crumbs. I know, this one is really difficult.


Cheesy Potatoes

12 large potatoes, boiled and grated or 1 (24 oz) bag frozen country style hash browns, thawed
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cups sour cream
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
1/2 c butter, melted
1/3 cup onions, chopped
2 cups corn flakes
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Combine soup, sour cream, cheese, 1/2 c melted butter and onions. (I used onion powder because I do not like crunchy-or even slightly crunchy-onions in my soft potatoes, and I used 2 T of butter.) Gently blend in potatoes. Pour into 9x13 glass baking dish. Crush corn flakes and mix 2 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle on top. (Or omit the corn flake topping and just sprinkle with paprika--that is what I did.) Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes.

Trader Joes Chicken/Cheese Enchiladas (each pan is half and half)
Spanish Rice
Beans
Pineapple
Tomatoes/Sour Cream

I get the black bean sauce at Trader Joes that I use for the pork, and I needed some for our trip so while I was there I decided to try TJ's Enchilada Sauce. Tasted good to me so far. Let me know what you think. I hope it's not too spicy.

Enchiladas

ingredients:

Shredded Mexican Cheese
Yellow Corn Tortillas
Trader Joes Enchilada Sauce
Shredded Chicken (not canned)
Sour Cream
Oil

directions:

Remove the white meat off an entire Rotisserie chicken and shred. To the chicken add 8 oz. of sour cream and two cups of shredded Mexican cheese. Stir together and set aside.

Heat up one pan with oil, and another with enchilada sauce. Fry each tortilla for about 30 seconds, drain and transfer to enchilada sauce. Take tortilla out of sauce and fill with chicken mixture or just plain cheese, roll up and put in pan. Once pan is full cover with remaining sauce and top with cheese.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake enchiladas for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Enjoy.
