Steps:

• Season Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops.

When butter is melted and butter/oil mixture is hot, cook 2 to 3 pork chops at a time, 4 to 5 minutes on the first side; 3 to 5 minutes on the other side. (Make sure no pink juices remain.)

• Pour 1/2 of sauce over pork chops.
• Add vegetables on top.
• Pour remaining sauce over the vegetables.
• Bake, covered, in a preheated 375 degree oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
