Lipton Onion Soup Pork Chops

 The final product goes great with rice-a-roni. Like my lame attempts at photography? At least my plate looks cute...

Ingredients:

3 pork chops

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1/3 cup Parmesan cheese (the kind in the can)

2 tablespoons onions, finely chopped

1 ounce Lipton Onion Soup Mix (1/2 packet)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350*.

Rinse, then dry pork chops. Place in aluminum foil covered dish (spray dish with oil before to prevent sticking).

Liberally season both sides of chops with salt, pepper, and Lipton mix. Top each chop with mayonnaise, then parmesan. Finish off by sprinkling onions on top. Going into the oven it should look something like this:

Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on it so as not to overcook and dry out the meat.

My tips:

-Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush over each side of the chops for extra flavor. We're too young to worry about cholesterol!

-Use the whole soup packet, not just a half. It gives a better flavor.

-Put mayonnaise, parmesan, and onions on both sides--not just the top.

-If you have a low-quality oven like me, it may take longer than 20 minutes. I suggest cutting open the chops halfway through to allow it to cook more evenly. I also turned up the oven to 375* for the last 10 minutes.

-Use grated parmesan, not the kind from the can. It gives it a different texture, and tastes just as good.

-Lastly, use dry onion flakes, instead of fresh, like the ones in the picture below. I do this for almost every recipe that calls for onions. Mostly because I can't ever use a whole onion before it goes bad. And also, dry onions have a stronger taste and I personally prefer it.

Enjoy!

Sweet and Sour Chicken

I remembered the picture on this one, but not until after I had cleaned up from dinner. So I pulled the tupperware out of my fridge and snapped a picture of it in there. May not look as appetizing, but it's better than no picture at all! Beau loveddd this recipe, so thank you Pinterest!

Chicken Breading:

• 3-5 chicken breast
• salt and pepper
• 1 cup cornstarch
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/3 cup canola oil

Rinse chicken, trim off fat or extras and then cut into 1 inch cubes. season with salt and pepper (I totally forgot to do this step and the chicken turned out just fine. So I guess if you are looking for a lighter-sodium meal, just omit this! Or don't, because this isn't a healthy meal to begin with.). Dip chicken into cornstarch and coat all the way and then into eggs. Heat oil in large skillet. Cook chicken until browned. Place in baking dish. 3 chicken breasts can be in a 9x9 but 5 chicken breasts fits better in a 9x13.

Sauce:

• 3/4 cups sugar
• 4 Tablespoons ketchup
• 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar (I used balsamic vinegar because that is all that I had, and it came out super sweet. Beau loved it. I thought it was a little strong though.)
• 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt

Whisk until smooth. Then pour evenly over chicken. Turn chicken so the sauce gets on both sides and then put in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. turn chicken and then cook for 15 more minutes.

7UP Biscuits

Is it considered copyright infringement or plagiarism if I get my recipes off of the Internet and then repost them here?? Oh well....just know that the recipes usually come from somewhere else, like this one. See original recipe here

Ingredients:
2 cups Bisquick
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup 7UP soda
1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 450*

Cut the sour cream into your Bisquick. Make sure each part of the sour cream gets coated with the Bisquick.

Stir in the 7UP.

Knead and fold the dough. Then pat the dough out (using your hands is fine if you don't have a rolling pin) and cut out your biscuits.

Melt the butter and pour into a 9" square pan. Place the biscuits on top of the butter and bake for 12-15 minutes or until brown on top.

I always forget to take pictures of my food! :( oops. I'll try to get better at that.
