Pork Chops & Apple Sauce

Ok, so I didn't make pork chops and apple sauce like in the Brady Bunch, but I did make breaded pork chops and twice baked sweet potatoes this past Sunday night. It was soooo yummy so I want to share the recipes from Taste of Home with everyone.

Breaded Pork Chops
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons flour
4 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon Worchestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup dried bread crumbs (I used Panko bread crumbs)
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
6 boneless pork chops (I only used four pork chops and just used a little less ingredients.)

Place flour in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, beat the egg whites, Worchestershire sauce, and vinegar. In a third dish, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, thyme, salt an dpaprika. Coat pork chops with flour, dip in egg mixture, then coat with crumb mixture. Cover and chill for an hour.

Place pork chops in a baking dish coated with cooking spray and bake uncovered for 25 - 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients:
2 medium sweet potatoes
2 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

After you clean the potatoes nuke in the microwave for 14 minutes to save time. You can always cook them the traditional way in the oven for an hour, but who has an hour to waste? Don't forget to pierce the potatoes before cooking them. Once cooked you will want to scoop out the inside of the potato into a bowl. You can be all fancy and delicate when scooping the inside so you save the shell, but since it was just Andy and I eating dinner I was not delicate. I just cut the potato in half and scooped out the inside into a bowl. Then mash the potatoes and add the cream cheese, sour cream, butter and salt; mix well. If you saved your shells then scoop the mixture back in or leave in the oven friendly baking bowl. I used our Pyrex bowl as that is oven friendly. Once everything is mixed together you will want to sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon. Bake uncovered at 425 degrees for 15 minutes.

This dinner was so yummy and I can't wait to make it again. I know Andy doesn't like sweet potatoes, but he liked this recipe. Here is a blurry picture of the fabulous meal I served with green beans.
