Breaded Pork Chops

6 pork chops

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1-2 cups Dried Bread Crumbs

Combine eggs and milk, whisking very well, creating an egg wash. Pour some bread crumbs onto a plate. Completely dip pork chop into egg wash. Then remove from egg wash and coat it in bread crumbs. Then dip in egg wash again and then bread crumbs again making sure it is completely covered in bread crumbs. Fry in a hot skillet (use a couple TBLS of oil/margarine to fry with) for 2 minutes on each side. You want the outside edges to be golden brown, but you are not cooking it all the way through. Place browned pork chops in a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. My pork chops are usually 1" thick. If yours are thicker you may want to cook them longer. Just make sure there is no pink in the middle.

**This was the first recipe that I remember making for Jim when we were first married....that didn't come from one of our Mom's. And it was so Yummy! I remember being so excited that I created something that was sooo good!

**I like to buy the big Pork Loins from Costco and divide them up into a couple roasts and several pork chops. There are even cutting directions on the package if you want to try to do this. It saves money! I think I pay around $20 for the Pork Loin and can get 2 roasts and 12 pork chops out of it. Enough for 4 dinners plus there are usually left overs from the roast to make into BBQ Pork Sandwiches for another dinner!

Sweet Pork (Like Cafe Rio's)

This Picture doesn't show the pork that well, but Oh MAN!  It is delicous!

1 Large Pack Boneless Pork Ribs (I used just over 5 lbs...There will be left overs.)
1 (12 oz) bottle of salsa (I used my homemade)
1 (20 oz) bottle of coke (I used 1 1/2 cans)
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 1/2 tsp Cumin

Place pork in crock pot and fill 1/2 way up the pork with water.  Cook on low for 11-12 hours.  Drain off water.  Remove pork from crock pot and shred it with forks.  Place pork back in crock pot.  Mix together salsa, coke, brown sugar, and cumin.  Pour it over the pork.  Let cook for another 3 hours on low.  Serve in a burrito, taco, or salad.

OH MY GOODNESS!  I'm so glad that I got up at 3 AM to put this in the crockpot.  It was so worth it.  We served it up on a toasted flour tortilla with black beans, lime rice, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and cilantro ranch dressing.  WOW!  Maybe these would be good for your Cinco De Mayo Party!

*We had enough to divide up for two more meals after this one.  I put it in freezer bags and froze it for future meals.

This recipe is a combination of two recipes.  My SIL shared it with me along with a good friend, both the same, but with different measurements and cooking times.  So glad they were willing to share.
