Saucy Pork Chops with Five Grain Blend
Saucy Pork Chops with Five Grain Blend
This is my version of a dish Aggie made many, many years ago. In fact, it was the only way Aggie made pork chops. Wait, I take that back, she also made shake ‘n bake pork chops too, but this recipe was the one she made most often. In fact, Aggie really didn’t make this recipe but a recipe easier. Pork chops, oil and cream of mushroom soup, that was about it. I guess this is my updated version of Aggie’s version.
