Apple Butter Pork Chops 4 boneless pork chops Salt and pepper 6 tablespoons butter divided 1 (30 oz) jar apple butter, divided (more if desired) 4 apples cored and sliced. No need to peel them. 4 tablespoons brown sugar, packed 2 teaspoons chili powder
2/3 cup heavy cream
Cheesy Potato Casserole 2- 12 oz packages frozen cubed hash browns,, thawed
Place your potatoes in a colander. Let set until thawed and drained.
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
Combine sour cream, soup and butter in a bowl. Mix it well. Add salt, onion and cheese to this mixture and mix until all combined.
2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup butter, melted 1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded 2-3 cups corn flakes, crushed 1/2 cup butter, melted
Add potatoes to mixture and stir until all combined. Place in 9x13 pan. Sprinkle on butter covered crushed corn flakes.
Bake uncovered at 350° for 40-50 minutes.
Season both sides of each pork chop with salt and pepper. Melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium high heat in a large skillet. Add the pork chops and cook each side for 3 minutes. Place pork on a plate and allow to rest while you cook the apples. Using the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the apple slices and allow to cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Pour in 1/2 of the jar (15 ounces) of apple butter (you can use a bit more if you want, but it does get pretty sweet), brown sugar, and chili powder. Stir to combine. Add in the cream and continue to stir. Bring to a light boil. Add the pork chops, pushing aside the apples to make sure the bottoms of each pork chop are touching the skillet. Spoon a tablespoon of apple butter onto each side of each pork chop as you cook. Cook each pork chop for about 4 more minutes or each side, adding a tablespoon of apple butter to each side as you cook. Cook until pork is cooked through to your liking. Serve hot with the apple mixture spooned over the pork.
