Pork Chops in Party Hats

The other night I made this dish for dinner with fresh Yukon Gold mashed potatoes. It's one of my husband's very favorite recipes that his Mom made while he was growing up. Instead of pork chops, I cut up a lean pork tenderloin and trimmed off any visible fat. Besides being absolutely delicious, this dish is easy, inexpensive, relatively healthy, is easy to prepare, and has just about the cutest name for a recipe I've ever seen.

Pork Chops in Party Hats

4 pork chops
1 onion sliced into rings
1 pepper, seeded and sliced into rings
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 can condensed tomato soup
1 can water

Heat oil in pan. Brown pork chops on both sides. Place onion and pepper rings on top of pork chops. Pour soup and 1 can of water over all. Bring to a boil. Cover, and simmer 45 minutes until pork is very tender. Serve over mashed potatoes.

If you've never thought about putting party hats on your pork chops, it might just be time for you to try it. Yum, yum, yum.

I've never worn onion and pepper rings as a party hat, but it sounds like fun! For the pork chops, anyway... :-P
