My Kids' Favorite Pork Chops

I didn't name this recipe, but it is definitely the kids' favorite pork chops. And Bryan's and mine as well. Bryan doesn't want me to share it, since it is so easy but so good. He fears no one will be impressed when I make it for them when they know how ridiculously easy it is!

Ingredients

Pork Chops (any kind, any number as long as they fit in pan)

Steak Seasoning (like McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning)

16 oz bottle of Barbeque Sauce (any kind, we use Sweet Baby Ray's or 2 cups of homemade)

12 oz bottle(or can) of beer (any kind, and it seems to be just fine if the "born on date" is a year ago...we're not big drinkers, can you tell?)

I usually use boneless pork chops and trim the fat off to make it easier at the table (cutting up food for all the kids takes awhile and Bryan and I like to eat our meat warm on occasion.) Sometimes I even cut the pork chops up so they cook quicker if I'm in a hurry.

Now, are you ready for this?

Sprinkle seasoning on pork chops.

Brown pork chops in a skillet.

Add BBQ sauce and beer.

Cover.

Simmer an hour or two.

THAT'S IT.

And I swear to you they are outstanding!

I definitely think they are better after 2 hours, but it's usually one at our house (I'm just not that on the ball,) and they come out wonderfully. The "sauce/gravy" is really good, even on mashed potatoes.

Blueberry French Toast

A tried and true family favorite, thanks to my friend Michelle's family cookbook.

Everyone here LOVES this, and I haven't taken it anywhere yet that it wasn't all eaten. (Of course, that could be that my family ate it all, but...)

We've started making it for dinner (or lunch), as it takes a while to cook and no one can wait that long for breakfast.

You SHOULD be able to click on the picture and view it larger to read it better. If not, send me an email or leave a comment and I will type it out for you.

I use a loaf of hearty-type bread, like a country white or potato bread (one of those really heavy loaves.) Works great.

I have also doubled the blueberry syrup recipe, as there is never enough for us with one batch. You can cut that back in half if you want.

Also, it ALWAYS seems to take longer than it says to cook, at least for me. So be forewarned. I usually have to cook an additional 30 minutes or so. Maybe I do something weird, who knows?

No syrup in the picture, but it's a beautiful purple and oh so yummy!
