Spicy Skillet Pork Chops

"Prepare these chops to suit your taste. If you prefer a milder dish, use regular chili powder; if firey is more your style, use hot chili powder. Another tasty recipe from the Better homes and Gardens New Dieter's Cookbook."

  1. I made this using butterflied pork chops, MEXICAN HOT Chili Powder. My husband loved it. I mixed the corn salsa with rice & stuffed it in the pork chop. This is a keeper.
     
  2. Spicy but good.
     
  3. So quick and easy to throw together for a weeknight meal. We love spice and didn't have canned tomatoes with chiles, so I just used regular stewed tomatoes and threw in some jalapeno. We served over a bed of rice. Yummy.
     
  4. How do the pork chops come out so far as tenderness? I have a problem with dried out pork chops. Can't seem to get it right to get tender juicy chops.
     
  5. Very tasty! I added mushrooms in with the onions and used rotel with lime and cilantro! Turned out spectacular! It was a little spicy but very delicious! Even my husband who does not eat tomatoes loved it!

  1. This is good.. I thought it was going to be too hot/spicy at first--but it was just right. I did make changes: I used Tabasco instead of hot pepper sauce I sauted the garlic WITH the onions .NOT for 2 or 3 minutes but until the onions were brown and carmelized coz that brings out the sweetness of the onions..I omitted the cilantro coz my husband does not like it. I also used Slap Your Mama seasoning on the chops in addition to the chili powder. This is a keeper! Thanks Crafty Lady 13 Chef Judi Coleman

<p>Update: &nbsp;I have changed my profile picture in honor of my dear best friend and loyal companion that I lost to cancer on 6/25/11. Maxx was the best dog that anyone could ever hope to have in their life. &nbsp;Until we meet again, sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart and memories. I currently live in the country with two dogs (a 12 pound&nbsp;poodle mix&nbsp;named Suki and a new member to the family, a 7-month old(?) 7.5 pound terrier mix named Angel ). &nbsp; I got Angel from the dog pound a week after I lost my beloved Maxx. &nbsp;Suki and I both needed a new companion to help us cope with our loss. &nbsp;Nothing will ever replace Maxx, but she has helped to uplift Suki's spirit. I am a secretary for a county school board. I love to cook, bake, crochet, paint, sew, read and anything to do with crafts. I was born in Tokyo,Japan. My father was in the Air Force and my moher was Japanese. I love to cook (and eat) a variety of foods from many different nations. I especially like trying out new recipes and experimenting with both old and new recipes. I also love participating in the great Zaar events like the tag games, recipe swaps, and Zaar World Tours. I recently participated in my first RSC contest. I have definitely had a lot of fun since joining Recipezaar. Update - September 20, 2007 I am proud to announce that I have just been blessed with my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law have given me a beautiful little granddaughter. &nbsp;[URL=http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x147/Crafty_Lady_13/?action=view&curren;t=f6fd3ae3.pbw][IMG]http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x147/Crafty_Lady_13/th_102_0365-1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Make Reservation Online Create your own visitor map *************************************************** [Reply]</p>
