Company Pork Chops with Cheesy Potatoes

Fellow Foodies I apologize for my absence with my blog. I have made a significant transition in my life and moved to the East coast with my family. I look forward to blogging again on a regular basis. I am also in the process of remodeling the kitchen we just moved into so you are most likely going to learn as I do along the way. Is there one thing you would definitely want in a new kitchen if you could design one for yourself?  I would love to hear them!

Tonight’s Menu:

Clover dinner rolls from the bread machine (everyone needs a little help from time to time)

Company Pork Chops which includes cheesy potatoes!

Baked acorn squash

Buttered Peas

Dinner Rolls- Basic White Dough Recipe

1 ¼ c. warm milk (1 min. in the microwave)

2 T. white sugar

2 T. butter

1 tsp. salt

1 egg

3 ½ c. flour

2 tsp. yeast

Directions: Put all ingredients into the pan in order, set machine to dough cycle. When dough is completed remove from the pan and divide into 12 balls. For each ball of dough pull into three balls and place all three in one muffin tin spot. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, cover dough with a towel and let rise 30 min. they should double in size. Then bake for 22-25 minutes. Light brown on top. I rub the tops with butter before serving.

Company Pork Chops and Cheesy Potatoes

1 (9x13 pan)

6 pork chops seasoned with salt, pepper and a little garlic powder on both sides. Line bottom of pan.

1 large bowl mix the following:

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 c. Greek Yogurt plain or sour cream

½ block cream cheese

¼ c. shredded cheddar cheese

¼ c. shredded Colby cheese

½ onion minced finely

2 T. melted butter

1 package shredded frozen potatoes hash browns (I usually thaw in the microwave for 5 min. before mixing in with the above ingredients.)

Directions: Mix all potato mixture together and spread over the pork chops. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes. They will be the moistest pork chops ever!

Baked Acorn Squash

2 Squash- cut in half and clean out seeds

Place squash halves in a microwave safe container. Add ½ c. water. Cover all with plastic wrap and cook in the microwave for 20 minutes or until squash is very tender to the touch. Be careful removing the plastic as there is potential for a steam burn.

Remove the squash from the shells into a casserole dish. Sprinkle squash with ¼ c. brown sugar and 4 T. of butter cut up. Top with marshmallows and sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake for 5-6 minutes on a low broil. They will be light brown on top when ready to serve.

Buttered Peas

Add one bag of frozen peas to microwave container and add cook for 7-9 minutes. Add 1 T. butter salt and pepper and serve. Delish!
