Very easy and good. Adjust spices to your liking. Might try with ranch seasoning next time. Or Cajun.

I thought these pork chops sounded wonderful. However when I made them they were very tough and flavorless. I never figured out where the virgin olive oil fit into the recipe so I decided to use it to coat the pan. Unfortunately the recipe was a total flop and I won't use it again, actually tossed it out.

Excellent dish! Added some boxed stuffing (so I skipped the oregano) to the cracker crumb mixture that really gave it some zest...huge favorite with the fam, making it again tonight!

Making now, did anyone else have the coating come to like a brown sugar texture?!

 Lexi (Texas) says:
While this was easy to make, the crumb recipe yields way too much to coat 4 to 6 chops. I recommend you cut it down if you don't want to waste your ingredients!

I didn't have breadcrumbs, so I used Pepperidge Farms Sage and Herb Stuffing instead. I used my blender to make it into breadcrumbs. I followed the recipe, and it was very delicious! I certainly make it again! My daughter is getting married, so this can be an easy meal.

Careful on the salt, depending on the sort of crackers you use. I used saltines, but should have omitted the salt as a result.

I used progresso Italian breadcrumbs with some Parmesan cheese instead of cracker crumbs. Made 8 pork chops. Delicious and easy!!

Loved these chops!! I used crushed gluten free rice Chex and gluten free Bisquick flour, and had to omit garlic and onion because of intolerances. They still were awesome!! I used a little more oregano and basil. Don't worry about adding the oil, it makes a thick coating you just plaster on your chops. Delicious!!! Best chops ever! Thanks "Mom"! : )

haven't tried the recipe yet but was reading thru every ones comments in response to Darla Adams (New Mexico) who put in a comment about a year ago.. Paprika is not spicy, it's cayenne (another red powder that is spicy). Paprika is used to put a bit of red coloring and flavor on devilled eggs

Great recipe! Delicious and a nice crunchy crust.

I didn't have any types of crackers in the house but I did have Graham cracker crumbs so I used those instead. Turned out awesome!

 Michelle (Oklahoma) says:
Used the seasoned bread crumbs I had sitting around the house to whip up some of these. They smell amazing! So easy, and it barely used the breadcrumbs I had. Just cut a hole in the corner of the bag and drained it all back into the container for use another day. I also topped them with a little bit more Italian seasoning and gonna have a side of garlic shells. This dinner is fantastic! If only it cooked faster ;)

Re-using (saving) ANY breading mixture that has come in contact w/raw pork is a VERY BAD idea. Think Salmonella...??? Why go there??
 #179379
 Bessler (Pennsylvania) replies:
I have been saving and reusing breading mixtures for years. First, no oils or liquids in the mixture to start. Then, I empty the breading into a new clean dry plastic bag before freezing. I roll it up very tight, squeeze all the air out, seal and return to the colder part of my freezer. Nobody sick yet! I definitely agree that just throwing used breading back on the shelf is a "recipe for disaster " especially if raw eggs were involved in the breading task.

These porkchops get 5 stars alone for how amazingly easy they are to make, and what a delicious pay-off at the end! The crust mixture makes a lot, I halved it and there was enough to coat my 4 chops plus the carrots I roasted in the oven (also delish). I really like the versatility you can use with different crackers. I'm also going to try this with chicken breasts. THANK YOU for this recipe 'Mom'!

I was on a used Ritz crackers instead, because they hold a salty taste to 'em. This recipe had my stomach on swole. I enjoyed it!!
