This easy one-pot pork chops recipe is filled with carrots, green beans, and potato. It’s all you need for an easy weeknight meal.
This pork chops recipe has been loitering in my recipe box for more than twenty years, handwritten on an old index card the way we used to keep recipes. I have no idea where it came from, probably a magazine, but I haven’t made it in years so I decided to give it a whirl and a few tweaks.
Pork chops, carrots, green beans, all in a tangy sauce and in one skillet. That’s my kind of recipe! And I think y’all must love pork chops because one of the most searched recipes on this site is for baked pork chops.
The original version of this pork chops and vegetables recipe included a packet of instant onion soup mix, but I made a homemade version instead and it turned out wonderfully.
This is a quick and easy weeknight meal with everything you need right in one pot. You could include my herbs and lettuces salad if you want something to go with but that’s really all you need.
Well, except for dessert: Old-fashioned Chocolate Pie or Chess Pie. Or Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie in a Skillet or Peanut Butter Cake. Sorry. You know where my heart lies.
