Sage Pork Chops - Review

We had some pork chops in the fridge, and luckily I remembered this recipe that we had tried a few months ago. I remembered that we had all liked it, but it had been awhile so I hoped that I had remembered correctly. Oh yes. These are AMAZING. Seriously. And easy. Especially considering how delicious they turn out.

I'm not sure that the picture does it justice. The recipe originally calls for salt, but I think you would probably have a heart attack if you actually put salt on them. Seriously. I had read reviews of people putting in the 1 tsp. garlic powder instead of the salt, and I think that is a good change. They have PLENTY of flavor from the other spices. Also, I subbed chicken bouillon for the beef bouillon since that is what we usually have on hand. And I had three good-sized boneless pork chops on hand instead of the six bone-in chops called for and the recipe worked perfectly.

One reviewer had suggested to make a gravy to go with the pork chops. This sounds scary, but it really isn't. Step 1: mix 2 T. corn starch with 2 T. water in a small cup. Step 2: after you take the pork chops out of your skillet, you just pour the corn starch mixture into the fluid that is left in the skillet, turn the heat on a bit, and stir until it is thickened. Easy, AWESOME gravy.

And thankfully I remembered right - my family loved this one. Everyone kept talking about it all dinner long. Except for the youngest, who is selectively picky. I had written down that SHE actually ate this last time. Not this time, though. The older two were gushing about it, though.

Family Rating: ****
My Rating: *****
Cost: $ (which is shocking for how good they are)
Difficulty: Easy. Nothing to cut up, and the only tricky thing is making sure you flip the pork chops over when your timer goes off so you don't burn anything, but that's not bad.
