Seasoned Garlic Butter Pork Chops
Pork Chops browned in a skillet, basted in a seasoned garlic butter then baked in the oven.
Salt and pepper both
sides of the pork chops.
In a small bowl, melt the butter in the
microwave. Add the rosemary, paprika
and garlic powder then stir and set aside.
Add the oil to a cast iron skillet (or any
skillet) and heat over medium heat until
hot. Cook the pork chops on both sides
just until lightly brown. If you are not
using a cast iron skillet, transfer the
meat to a baking dish.
Spoon the butter mixture
on top of the pork chops.
Bake at 375º, uncovered, until the thickest
part of the pork chop is 145º then serve.

Everything tastes better with garlic butter! Looks so tasty and I do love a good porkchop. Have you finished drying all the herbs from your garden harvest this year?

I agree Ab! Yes the garden is done and my herbs are dried. I am waiting for the asparagus to turn brown so I can cut them down. It’s a LOT of asparagus and I can only handle a small section each day but it will get there.

Wow that sounds yummy! Anything in garlic butter is going to be good! (Ok, ok, perhaps liver in garlic butter would not be so ok – ha! I am not one for organ meats…)

Thank you! Liver has never appealed to me either. My mom made us eat it as a kid and I hated it and still do. I sure was glad the dog liked it!

I love that you can brown in your cast iron and then slide it in the oven. It is so easy and keeps those flavors.

I agree Linda, even my husband has started using my cast iron pans. I think he was afraid of ruining them in the past.

That makes sense. I don’t have an issues with figuring out the “main” part of our meals (like meat!) but I often fall down around veggies and something else. Sigh. I am working on it, though!
