Hone Glazed Pork Chops with Garlic Roasted Vegies


The vegies in this dish are yummy enough to be the meal itself. The pork and vegies together should just fall apart in your mouth! I made up the vegie roast. I adapted the pork recipe from Miss Vickie's pressure cooker recipes so I could use in the oven. I tried pork in the pressure cooker and wasn't that thrilled. In fact, I had just about given up on pork chops until I tried this in the oven. The secret is not over cooking!

Honey glazed pork chops



In a big ziplock bag dump shake up until coated:

1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
6 pork chops, 3/4 inch thick

In a 13x9 baking dish melt 2 T butter.Place the 6 pork chops on top of the butter. Bake at 350 uncovered for 15 minutes.

Once the pork goes in the oven begin making the honey glaze.

In a small pot on the stove dump the following in and simmer for 15 minutes.

3 T butter
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup lemon juice (I just use the bottled)
1 tsp ginger

After the pork cooks for 15 minutes. Take the dish out of the over and turn the chops over. Then pour honey glaze over the pork. Put the dish back in the oven for 20more minutes. Uncovered.

Garlic Roasted Vegies
In a 9x13 dish dump:

6 cut up potatoes (I used new potatoes)
3 carrots
1/2 onion, cut into chunks
6 cloves garlic, peeled
2 T butter cut up
lightly salt and pepper
Cover with foil (or the carrots will shrivel up) and bake at 400 for one hour.
