Bernies Pork Chop Sandwiches Recipes

POPPIN' PORK CHOP SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the pork chops: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• In a baking dish, mix together the flour, seasoned salt, pepper and cayenne. Dredge both sides of the pork chops in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, and set aside on a plate.
• Add the vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet and heat until the butter is melted. Working in 2 batches, sear the pork chops on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, 2 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
• In a separate pan and working in batches, add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and toast the cut side of the buns until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Re-assemble the buns and set aside.
• For the cherry pepper mayonnaise: Mix together the mayonnaise, diced peppers, lemon juice and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl until well combined.
• For the sandwiches: Smear the cherry pepper mayonnaise onto each bottom bun, top with a pork chop, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, more mayonnaise spread and the top bun.
• Serve hot or wrap in sandwich wrap/foil for transport.
• To a small saucepan, add the rice wine vinegar, honey, crushed red pepper flakes, mustard seeds, dill and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
• Toss together the cucumber and red onion slices and transfer them to a wide-mouth quart-size mason jar. Carefully pour over the warm vinegar mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours and up to 7 days.

BONNIE'S BAKED PORK CHOPS ( LICK THEM CHOPS GOOD!)

Steps:

• 1. Line pan with foil. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. No need to turn the chops. Cooking time is 12-15 minutes depending on size of the pork chop. Cook to 145 to 150 degrees with an instant read thermometer. Lightly tent with foil for five minutes before serving. The time listed is for a medium size pork chop.
• 2. Choose centercut, and bone in pork chops one inch thick. The chops should be at room temperature. (Cold meat lengthens cooking time.)
• 3. Cut into the fat with a sharp knife at the sides of the chop so it won't curl up as it cooks. Avoid cutting into the meat.
• 4.
