Today you get two recipes in one post!!
These recipes go so well together, I couldn't help but post them as a whole meal.
Not only are they both super easy to make, but they combine some of my favorite ingredients to cook with; basil, chili powder, garlic powder, and brown sugar.
Pork Chop Ingredients:
2 boneless pork chops, about a 1/2 in. thick
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons of dried basil
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
2 Tablespoons of olive oil
Potato Wedge Ingredients:
3 large sized red potatoes, cut into wedges
2 Tablespoons of melted butter
1 Tablespoon of honey
3 teaspoons of chili powder
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
Both of these can be cooked at the same temperature, so pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.
The potatoes will need to be baked longer so we will start with those!!
Thoroughly wash the potatoes since the skin will be left on.
I am only feeding Kevin and I so this is plenty, but the recipe will work no matter how many potatoes you are using. Just adjust the seasoning to be enough for more potatoes!
Cut the potatoes into small wedges, and place in a greased baking dish.
To the baking dish add the honey, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and melted butter.
Stir the potatoes around until they are all completely coated.
Put in the oven, and bake for 35 minutes or until tender.
Remember: half way through the cooking time, give them a good stir!
After these puppies go in the oven, you can start the pork chops.
These chops, take just a simple rub to make them taste delicious!
To a bowl add brown sugar, chili powder, basil, salt, and olive oil.
Rub onto both sides of the chops and place in a greased baking dish.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until they are no longer pink in the center.
If you plan it right, both the chops and the potatoes can be done at the same time!
Add a vegetable, and voila!!! A whole meal done simply and quickly...plus there aren't many dishes!!!
