Smothered Pork Chops

I'm not a huge pork chop fan, but I get them to break up the monotony of chicken breast and ground beef. So, I'm always looking for a good way to cook pork chops. This is one of my favorites. Easy and tasty.



Ingredients:

Pork chops (your choice of cut)
Mushrooms, sliced
Butter
Mozzarella cheese
Italian herbs and spices

1. Rub your pork chops down with Italian herbs and spices on both sides. I use a grinder that I bought called Italian herbs.
2. Slice fresh mushrooms. I use about a cup for 3 pork chops.
3. Saute your mushrooms in butter. I use 2 TBS for 1 cup of mushrooms. Saute over medium heat until the mushrooms are soft.
4. Broil your pork chops on each side for anywhere from 3 to 7 minutes, depending on how thick they are. The ones I cooked this time were Iowa cut (very thick) and took a full 7 minutes on each side.
5. Once the chop are done, top them with the mushrooms and cheese. Put back in the oven on broil for 1 to 2 minutes. The cheese should be completely melted and starting to brown in places.

That's all there is to it. Fast and tasty. We had these with mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus.
