Easy Comfort Food
These baked pork chops are my version of one my mom used to make. As a child I loved this dish! Mom's version was true homestyle, comfort food and although, I loved her version, my palate has changed with time. Now, I crave a little more seasoning oomph... and Italian herbs are a perfect choice.
This easy to make, baked main dish is so comforting and so simple you will want to add it to your rotation of favorite weeknight dinners! It has only 8 ingredients and 7 easy steps, which is another reason why this is one of my all-time favorite dishes to make... as well as to eat!
Ingredients
Instructions
It starts by simply by mixing creamed corn with thawed sweet corn kernels in a small bowl. Spread 2/3 of the corn mixture into the bottom of a 13"x 9"x 2" baking dish.
Generously sprinkle the pork chops with seasoned salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Then, brown them in a medium-hot fry pan with a touch of shimmering hot safflower oil.
The seasoned and browned chops are then layered on top of the corn.
Lastly, spoon the remaining corn 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!
