Southern Food and Basketball – Mickie’s Fried Pork Chops
Today’s Southern Food and Basketball – Mickie’s Fried Pork Chops meal was not difficult to prepare. However, because I hate to fry, it was tedious. Frying is a messy job unless you use a deep fryer. Doing that contains the grease splatters. But, then, you have to use so much oil. So, I used a skillet…and cringed.
Well, enough of my whining.
Ingredients:
Pork loin chops – thin
Chicken fry flour (Don’t have any? You can use regular flour to which you’ve added your salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder to taste.)
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Oil
Instructions:
1) Season the pork chops (Go light on the salt.) Dredge in flour.
2) Heat oil in skillet or deep fryer to bubbly.
3) Add a couple of pork chops. (Watch your fire as not to burn the chops.)
4) Turn over after about 10 minutes being careful not to splash oil. Chops should look golden brown.
5) Fry until done. (You can test with meat thermometer.)
I served “smackaroni” on the side. It was so cheesy-eesy to make. No pictures, though. But, here’s what I did.
1) Boil elbow macaroni as directed on the package—about 10 minutes.
2) Drain.
3) Pour in casserole dish.
4) Spoon in margarine while macaroni is still hot.
5) Layer American cheese from bottom to top, making sure cheese slices completely cover the top.
6) Cover and bake at 350 degrees approximately 30 minutes (a little longer if you want that crust along the sides of the dish.)
Dish up that scrumptious meal. Don’t forget to do something green for your side dish.
Enjoy!
