easy comfort food
This dish is my version of one my mom used to make. As a child I loved this dish of browned pork chops baked in creamed corn. Mom’s version was true homestyle, comfort food and although, I loved her version of pork chops in creamed corn, my palate has changed with time. Now, I crave a little more seasoning oomph… and Italian herbs seemed a perfect choice!
This dish is so comforting and so easy you will want to add it to your rotation of favorite weeknight dinners! It has only 8 ingredients and 7 steps, which is another reason why this is one of my all-time favorite dishes to make… as well as eat!
here’s how to make it
It starts by simply by mixing creamed corn with even more sweet corn kernels in a small bowl. Then, about two thirds of the corn mixture is spread into the bottom of a 13 x 9 x 2″ baking dish.
The chops are generously sprinkled with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning and browned in a medium hot fry pan with a touch of shimmering olive oil.
The seasoned and browned chops are then layered on top of the corn.
Lastly, the remaining corn is spooned over the chops. Then simply add a few sprigs of rosemary and cover the whole dish with aluminum foil for a trip to the oven and an easy bake. Before serving add a few fresh sprigs of rosemary for that final touch of beauty!
