Grilled Pork Chops

Posted by Crystal Kellner Sunday, September 01, 2019

Summertime is the perfect time to use the grill. Grilled Pork Chops, seasoned just right, brings so much flavor to the meat.

Creating perfect grill marks on meat on the grill is like a personal victory! One less dirty pan is another mom victory!

According to the National Pork Producers Council, the pork industry supports 550,000 jobs in the United States. These jobs range from pork producers and meat processors to transport and Main Street businesses.

Depending on how lean and thin your pork chops are, adjust the cooking time for each side. Thinner pork chops do not require as much time as thicker chops or chops with the bone in.

If your kids love barbeque sauce like mine, you can add it at the end of the cooking time. It adds another flavor to the pork chop, and I prefer it sometimes, too. Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese would be a great side for pork chops!

There are so many different ways to eat pork chops, another is Fried Pork Chops, another family favorite!

4-H dinner family food frying pork pork chops recipe swine

Fried Pork Chops

Posted by Crystal Kellner Thursday, December 20, 2018

Fried Pork Chops takes pork chops to another level. The crispy breading adds more flavor and keeps the meat very tender. I love this recipe, a family recipe I hope yours will enjoy, too.

Special meals can be remembered forever. One special meal we have had for a family growing up is now one of my husband’s favorite meals. He was first introduced to Fried Pork Chops after our daughter was born. My mom spent some time with us at our house after Macie was born. I was spoiled with laundry services and meals prepared. Macie was born right before Christmas, so it definitely was a special time of the year.

Macie is celebrating her 14th birthday this month. She has enjoyed showing pigs before she was old enough to join 4-H. Each year she becomes more responsible in her swine project. She is very interested in learning the feeding plans and monitors their health daily. All three kids spend a lot of time in the barn and get to know their animals.

Mom made her fried pork chops and my husband was won over with this meal.

Notes on making Fried Pork Chops

Use an electric skillet if you have one on hand.

If you have an electric skillet, this is the best way to make the fried pork chops, it keeps the mess off the stove. If you don’t have one, then use a deep pan on the stove.
