Italian Pork Chops


I love AllRecipes ingredient search. I had sausage in the fridge and lots of pork chops in the freezer. I plugged in my ingredients and out came this little beauty. Andy said it gets 9 1/2 stars. He kindly clarified that only pepperoni pizza can get 10 stars.

  • 4 thick cut pork chops
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 pound sweet Italian sausage
  • 1 onion, slivered
  • 1/4 pound mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper. In a large frying pan, brown well in olive oil. Remove chops from pan and set aside. Pour off and discard all but 1 tablespoon pan drippings.
  3. Remove casing from sausage and crumble meat into same pan. Mix in onions and mushrooms. Cook, stirring until onions and sausage brown slightly. Mix in garlic. Place pork chops in casserole dish, spooning sausage mixture over them. Pour tomato sauce over the meat. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
  4. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
