IN THE POT | PIZZA PORK CHOPS

This is totally one of those recipes that you will never see in a health food magazine.  I thought I would give this a try because the name “Pizza Pork Chops” was something I knew would get HUBBY’s heart racing.

It’s a great dish for the end of the grocery week when you’re down to nothing in the cupboard and you just want an easy dish to make.  In fact I could see this dish being a big hit with students. (A bit more substance than Raman noodles!)

While it’s easy to make and a great way to get rid of some of those pesky bottled sauces you always seem to have left in the cupboard I don’t think I’ll be making this one again.  The pork ended up being really dry and I’m not a fan of jar spaghetti sauce at the best of times.  But I am all about trying new things and this I tried…

I also tried to inject more vegetables into this meal so I served it with a vegetable pasta medley. It was a lame attempt… Not one of the better dishes I’ve made this month!

…looks better than it tasted…
