This question is hard to answer because you say you don't want to go shopping, yet we don't know what ingredients you have on hand. Here are a couple of easy chop recipes. Hopefully, there's one that suits your pantry...





***Creamy Potato Pork Chop Bake***





1 tablespoon vegetable oil


6 pork chops


1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup


1/2 cup milk


1/2 cup sour cream


salt and pepper to taste


1 (20 ounce) package frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed


1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese


1 1/2 cups French-fried onions, divided





DIRECTIONS


Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add pork chops and saute until browned. Remove from skillet and drain on paper toweling.


Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).


In a medium bowl mix together soup, milk, sour cream and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in potatoes, 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 cup onions. Mix together and spread mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange pork chops over potato mixture.


Cover dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until internal temperature of pork has reached 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove cover; top with remaining cheese and onions and bake uncovered for 5 more minutes.





***Gravy Baked Pork Chops***





4 (1 1/4 inch thick) pork chops


salt and pepper to taste


1 tablespoon butter


3/4 cup milk


1/4 cup water


1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup





DIRECTIONS


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).


Season pork chops with salt and pepper to taste. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Saute the pork chops in the butter for about 5 minutes per side.


In a separate medium bowl, combine the milk, water and soup. Place the pork chops in a 9x13 inch baking dish and pour the soup mixture over the chops.


Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes.





**Serve with mashed potatoes and a veggie, like green beans.





***Easy Pork and Apples***





Preheat oven to 375 degrees.


Salt and pepper the pork chops to taste. Place chops in a 9x13 glass casserole dish.


Wash the apples, and cut lengthwise. Remove any seeds. Leave the apple skins on. Sprinkle the top of each pork chop with 陆 tablespoon sugar. Place half the apple (with skin) on top of each pork chop.


Bake for 20 minutes. Remove pork chops from oven. Take apple halves and place to the side. Flip the pork chops over to other side. Sprinkle 陆 tablespoon sugar on pork chop side that is now facing up. Place each apple half back on top of pork chop.


Put back in over for another 20-25 minutes. Pork chops are done with juices run clear.


Remove pork chops from oven, and take the apples off the tops of each. Discard apples. If necessary, cut into chops to examine doneness.





Tips:


Serve with baked potato, rice, or applesauce.





Pork chops will have a wonderful cured tasteDoes any one know of a quick,good and simple pork chop recipe?
Almost anything means you have to go shopping.


For the basics, oil a fry pan and fry them quickly on both sides to brown, then pour some flavorful liquid over them (I like onion soup) cover the pan and cook for 30 minutes at a simmer. If you happen to have a tomato and/or an onion in the house, put a slab of either or both onto the chops before covering.


The worst thing you can do with pork is let it get dried out.





I don't mean to dispute well-meaning others here, but if you are using a shake mix that you put raw meat into, please don't try to save it in the fridge. A shake mix should be one use only. You can contaminate the whole batch of shake mix if you put raw meat into it.

4 pork chops


1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken or mushroom soup

Dredge porkchops in the above mixture. Put sack of flour mix in fridge for another time.





Fry pork chops in melted butter over medium heat about 3 to 5 minutes on each side depending on thickness.





Peas and carrots in butter sauce, Steamed broccoli and/or cauliflower, and traditionally something with apple in it. I like apple sauce or fried apples.





fried apples:


melt a quarter cup of butter in heavy skillet, toss in sliced apples with or without peels on them, cook til tender over medium to low heat, Drain off any remaining butter. sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon blended over them and let them glaze a bit.
I really wish we knew what you had on hand, but here are my favprite pork chop recipes.





The first has everything you need in it. Add a a nice dinner salad ad you are done:





Pork Chop Bake:





6 pork chops (approx 5oz each)


3 Potatoes


3 Carrots


1 onion


2 Cans cream of mushroom soup


1 1/2 Cans of Milk


3 Tbsp Flour


salt and pepper





Brown the chops in a skillet that has been lightly oiled. As the chops are browning slice the carrots potatoes, onions, and carrots. Place the browned chops in a 9x13 baking dish.


Layer on the veggies. In a separate bowl mix the soup and flour until smooth, then add the milk. Pour over the chops and veggies and then cover and bake for 1 hour at 350. Then remove lid and continue to bake for another 15min.


---------


Serve this one with some roasted potatoes.





Autmn Chop Skillet:


All you need is 2 chops, 1 red bell pepper-cut into 1 in pieces


1 apple peeled and sliced.


Season the chops with salt and pepper, cook the chops in a tiny bit of oil, brown on one side and turn, add the onions, pepper, and apples. Cook until chops are done and the other ingredients are crisp tender. Serve with rice.





--------


Sweet Chop Bake:


The next recipe is for as many chops as you want to make. Salt and pepper both sides of the chops, place in a baking dish. Top EACH chop with the following


1 tbsp brown sugar


1 tbsp ketchup


1 slice onion


1 slice lemon





Bake at 350 for about 30-45 min depending on how many chops, and how thick they are. This dish creates just a tiny bit of a nice sweet tangy sauce. You can simmer an extra serving or 2 the topping ingredients on the stove top with a little water if you would like. I serve this dish over rice also. Different sounding but very good!!!
do you have apples at the house and cinnamon? or even raspberry jam





Butterfly the pork to make a pocket in the middle set as side


in a bowl dice apples into small pieces and add cinnamon and butter if you have whiskey add a shot mix well place mix inside pork chops using toothpicks to keep closed cook until pork is done and wow its delicious. mashed potato or sweet potato and green beans will go perfect side of apple sauce also.
i cook mine many different ways, you could either use a shake an bake in oven, or on the stove, or sometimes I cook it in Asian Ginger. I just buy a jar of it and pour it in the pan and lay the chops in it and let it simmer, sooo yummy. You could use cream of mushroom soup, then make some rice for a side.


For sides I almost always have some mashed potatoes and a mix veggie. A salad would be great too, pasta or lettuce!





Another good and VERY simple recipe you could do sometime while you are working off your bet is a very yummy chicken recipe.


All you need is boneless chicken, spag sauce, mozz. cheese and Parmesan cheese,


Pour a can of spagetti sauce w/ 1/2 cup of Parm. cheese in a pan, add ur chicken, the sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top and let it simmer, then when it is done, I put lots of mozz cheese on top of chicken and let it melt, then serve, My kids LOVE it!! Just an idea...
you could marinade the pork chops in balsamic vinegar and basil for about 30 mins. then cook them in a skillet on the stove for about 5-10 mins on each side. mashed potatoes with chives, steamed carrots, and chopped tomato with balsamic vinegar are sides that go wel with pork chops
Put on salt, pepper and garlic powder. Fry in a little bit of oil over Medium heat till done. They can be slightly pink in the center (Check by cutting a slit in the center with a knife)





Serve with buttered mashed potatoes, applesauce, a veggie and salad.





For dessert: Ice Cream and cookies.
I sometimes cook mine in Italian dressing, instead of using cooking oil. Either that or Shake %26amp; Bake is always a good standby!
Hunterfisher has a simple, classic recipe. Good answer!
Shake %26amp; Bake
Place chops in tray or casserole. Lightly drizzle Italian dressing a little Worcestershire sauce, A1, Hot sauce (Texas Pete, Crystal, Trappey's...)


onion power garlic power and ground pepper.





Turn thouroughly to coat evenly. Let chops sit in seasoning for at least 1/2 hour turning at least once,.





A charcoal grill is best. Sixteen minutes total for 1/2-5/8th inch chops. A little longer for really thick chops. Turn four times 4min-4-4-4. Chops are done at 160-165, but if you cook them this way they will be done.





If you must cook inside, a broiler or grill is best, so the marinade can drip away. Indoor grill cooking time on medium low will be similar, but may run a little longer. If you cook in a skillet, let the marinade drain off the chops before cooking.





Baked or grilled potatoes go great with pork chops.





Real bake - 1 hour in oven at 400-450


Fake bake - Microwave 2-4 cleaned, pierced potatoes (Still damp) in paper towel cocoon. 8 minutes - full power. Finish on grill or in oven for 10-15 minutes. (For moister potatoes, before grill/oven lightly oil with corn or vegetable oil and wrap in foil.)





Grilled potatoes on outdoor grill- Its a long read, but its really easy.





Slice 2-4 potatoes ~1/4 to 3/16 inch. You can leave the skin on if you like. I do.


One sheet large aluminum foil ~2 feet long. Lay flay on counter.


Spray center area of foil with cooking spray. Lightly sprinkle your favorite seasonings (Onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper...) on the foil. %26lt;%26lt;Yes - On the foil)


Arrange potato slices in one layer in the middle of the foil. Repeat light seasoning on the top of the potatoes.


Lightly drizze Italian dressing. Add one TBSP of water.


Wrap foil up. It won't cover the center of the top.


Get another piece of large foil, the same size. Lay over the top and carefully wrap around underneath.


You now have a packet that can be turned over without leaking.


Cook on charcoal grill 15 minutes per side.





Veggie- tossed salad, or your choice of green vegetable: Broccoli, Green beans, Brussel Sprouts....
