Italian Style Pork Chops

These chops are simmered in a rich tomato sauce with garlic, herbs, and sometimes olives or cheese—perfect served over pasta or polenta for a cozy, rustic Italian meal full of Mediterranean flavor.

Ingredients

3 cups crushed saltine crackers 2 cups grated parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon italian-style seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1 cup butter, melted
6 pork chops

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed saltines, Parmesan cheese, Italian-style seasoning and garlic powder and mix together well.
Dip the chops in the melted butter and then dredge each chop in the cracker mixture, coating all sides thoroughly. Place the chops in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 30 to 40 minutes, or until internal pork temperature reaches 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
