It’s so easy for me to get in a rut with cooking and just keep making the same things over and over. While there’s nothing wrong with making your favorite dishes often, I appreciate some variety too! Recently, I’ve been experimenting with some easy fresh pork recipes.
I’ve learned that you can easily substitute pork for chicken in a lot of recipes for a whole new flavorful twist! In fact, you can slice up a boneless pork loin and pretty much use it just as you would chicken breast.
And that’s exactly what I did for these Easy Cheesy Mushroom Pork Chops. I picked up a Smithfield Prime Boneless Fresh Pork Loin at my local ShopRite and used it to create a fun twist on a family favorite that I usually make with chicken.
I love that Smithfield Prime Fresh Pork is a superior quality line of all-natural fresh pork. It’s extra tender and juicy, and made with 100% fresh pork with no artificial ingredients – something that I always appreciate!
One of the great things about this Cheesy Mushroom Pork Chops recipe is that it’s super easy to make. It only takes several simple ingredients and creates a delicious dish that is effortless enough for weeknight dinners, but special enough to shake things up for guests during last-minute holiday get-togethers!
Pair it with some potatoes or rice, or add a salad, and just like that, you have a flavorful and satisfying meal that is sure to be a winner!
