In just 40 minutes‚ with only a handful of ingredients‚ you can make these easy‚ crispy coated Ritz Cracker Pork Chops for a dinner everyone will devour! A SIMPLY DELICIOUS PORK CHOP RECIPE If you’re looking for an easy yet flavorful dinner‚ Ritz Cracker Pork Chops are the perfect solution! This classic dish is as easy to make as it is delicious‚ with minimal ingredients and prep time. They are inspired by my recipe for Ritz Cracker Chicken. An excellent weeknight meal‚ these lightly breaded pork chops are slightly crunchy‚ juicy‚ and loaded with flavor. The coating is what makes these pork chops so special! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ’S): Can I use thinner pork chops? Remember that pork chops are lean cuts of meat and can dry out quickly‚ so you have to use a meat thermometer to determine when your pork chops are done (145F degrees). This is why I prefer a thicker cut as it is less likely to get dry and overcooked. If you have thinner chops‚ they can be used‚ but you’ll need to lessen the cooking time. I have never made these with the thinner cut pork chops so you’ll have to just play it by ear and check with your meat thermometer to know when they are done. How do I know when my pork chops are cooked? Cooking the pork chops to the right internal temperature is important. Make sure you check the doneness of the chops with a meat thermometer. The FDA says that pork chops need to be cooked to a minimum of 145F to be safe to eat. I usually cook mine to 155F degrees which is more of a medium well doneness. Meat thermometers (paid affiliate link) are so cheap and they really are a life saver and can help you when you just can’t tell visually if they are done. No more raw chicken or pork when you use that! What sides go well with pork chops? Pork chops pair well with a wide variety of sides. A lot of people love to have some sort of apples served with pork so you could definitely serve it with some fried apples. Some of the most popular side dishes to serve with pork chops include roasted potatoes‚ baked beans‚ roasted vegetables‚ rice‚ steamed broccoli‚ sautéed mushrooms‚ macaroni and cheese‚ mashed potatoes‚ and corn on the cob.For a light and healthy side dish‚ consider a salad featuring leafy greens‚ seasonal fruits‚ and a tangy vinaigrette. Can I use bone-in pork chops? Yes but I haven’t tested this recipe with them. So I’m not sure what the exact cooking time would be but it wouldn’t be too far from this recipe in terms of time I would think. You definitely would need to use your meat thermometer to make sure they cooked all the way through before eating them. How to store and reheat leftover pork chops? Leftover pork chops should cool down to room temp before transferring to an airtight container and storing them in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.To reheat‚ I like to use the oven until they’re heated through or use a microwave‚ but that can dry them out faster‚ so the oven is preferred. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) boneless thick-cut pork chops – see my FAQ’s above about other cuts. eggs – these act as a binder to hold the crust onto the pork chops. Ritz crackers – you can really use any type of cracker you enjoy. garlic powder‚ onion powder‚ Italian seasoning‚ paprika – this is the seasoning I use but if you have a favorite seasoning you usually use with pork‚ feel free to use that here. unsalted butter – you can use salted butter. But because I season the pork chops with salt and the Ritz crackers also have salt on them‚ I chose unsalted. HOW TO MAKE RITZ CRACKER PORK CHOPS Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. Season both sides of all the pork chops with the salt and pepper then set aside. In a shallow bowl‚ crack the eggs and beat them well with a fork. Set aside. In another bowl‚ add the crushed Ritz crackers‚ garlic powder‚ onion powder‚ Italian seasoning‚ and paprika and stir to combine. Dip a pork chop (one at a time) into the egg mixture‚ coating both sides then letting any excess drip off. Next‚ put the pork chop into the cracker mixture and press the crumbs onto both sides of the pork chop. Place the pork chop into the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining pork chops. Sprinkle 2 Tablespoons of the leftover Ritz cracker mixture onto the tops of the pork chops. Finally‚ place the sliced butter on top of all the pork chops. Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes; check for an internal temperature of 155°F (this would be medium well)‚ or until your desired temperature. Cook time can vary on how thick the chops are so it’s always best to use a meat thermometer. Note: Pork chops are considered safe to eat once their internal temperature reaches 145°F. Sprinkle the tops with a little parsley (optional) then serve! CRAVING MORE RECIPES?

Fleetwood Mac ripped our hearts out in 1975 and we thanked them for it – because what else can you do when listening to a timeless piece of art like “Landslide?” Those deep guitars set the perfect beat for one of the most achingly relatable and poetic songs out there. On top of all that‚ “Landslide” is one of those rare gems of a song that only gets more powerful with each passing year. Millions are still listening to this haunting tune online‚ everyone lining up for singer Stevie Nicks to tell an intimate story of change and the unpredictable fear that comes with it‚ a kind of fear that we just have to endure because sometimes‚ sometimes‚ while time brings plenty of frightening changes‚ it also builds us up stronger to face those fears. It’s no wonder Nicks was at a pretty important crossroads of her own when she wrote it. Fleetwood Mac told a story we can all understand with “Landslide” Stevie Nicks wrote the Fleetwood Mac hit Landslide when she was at a crossroads / YouTube screenshot Everyone’s got a different “Landslide” story‚ even almost 50 years since this four-minute song’s release. Listeners have found companionship by sharing their own tales: one’s a parent dropping their kid off at college. Another is mourning a departed spouse taken too soon. RELATED: This Version Of Bee Gees ‘Too Much Heaven’ Has Never Been Matched In The History Of Music Nicks‚ who sang it for the band’s self-titled album Fleetwood Mac in ’75‚ also wrote the song while she herself was in the midst of uncertain times. She found herself at a crossroads: go back to school and try a new course‚ or stay in the music scene alongside guitarist Lindsey Buckingham. Both were gambles and‚ making this choice all the more fraught with doubt was the fact that it was Nicks who‚ at 27‚ was balancing jobs as a cleaning lady and waitress to financially support herself and Buckingham. The intimately rustic notes of the song paint an earthy visual that perfectly matches the view of the Rocky Mountains that Nicks stared at during her visit to Aspen‚ Colorado‚ when she ultimately wrote “Landslide.” During this meditative break‚ Nicks lost herself “pondering the avalanche of everything that had come crashing down on us” and believed more than ever that at “that moment‚ my life truly felt like a landslide in many ways.” Quickly making history and memories that last Nicks wrote lyrics that are still relatable to this day / YouTube screenshot It’s reported that Nicks took about five minutes to jot down the lines and emotions that would become “Landslide‚” and for however quick that might have been‚ the song is very solidly here to stay. As of 2009‚ “Landslide” is certified Gold and Rolling Stone ranks it at 163 in its 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list. On stage‚ “Landslide” is considered a Fleetwood Mac regular‚ to the point that Nicks has sung it for every single tour since joining the group‚ with the only exception being the Shake the Cage tour. She’s also performed it at every single one of her own solo tours since 2005. Nicks performed Landslide at almost every single Fleetwood Mac tour / Everett Collection But even if they never touched the song again‚ there’s no forgetting the raw emotion Nicks tapped into – and allowed listeners a glimpse into‚ because the fears and hopes expressed in “Landslide” came from a very real place. “I did already feel old in a lot of ways‚” Nicks once admitted‚ reflecting on the song’s composition. That comes with a weariness all of its own‚ while also being asked to face the unknown of so many tomorrows‚ so many possible losses‚ and changes for the worse – but as “Landslide” assures us‚ “time makes you bolder‚” and each day we’re getting strong enough to endure the bumps in the road to handle the seasons of life.
