Cajun-Seasoned Pork Chops



I was suprised at how well they tatsed given the fact that I can't really eat anything spicy. These were juicy, slightly spicy and hot! I served mixed veggies with mashed sweet potatoes. The mashed sweet potatoes were good but after awhile you can't eat them any more or at least that is case for us.

Ingredients:

3 sweet potatoes    2 Tbsp. canola oil
4 pork chops (1.25 lb.) ( I used a roast and thinly sliced )   1-2 tsp. cajun seasoning
2 C. mixed veggies
salt and pepper

Directions:

*Sweet potatoes*
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make a few slits in the potatoes using a small sharp knife. Place sweet potatoes in a baking dish with 1/4 in. water and cover with foil. Bake potatoes in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool about 10 min. Peel off the skins and mash the pulp.

~ What I did~  Cut slits in the potatoes and put them in a 400 dgeree toaster oven and cooked for about 1 hr. or until mushy to the touch. Pull out the oven let sit for 10 min. and then peel off the skins and mash the pulp with salt and pepper to taste with a little milk and butter.

*Meat* 
Heat oil in large skillet, and add pork chops. Sprinkle pork chops with seasoning. Saute pork chops for 4-5 min. on each side, or until no longer pink in the middle. Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of the pork chops.

Cook mixed veggies according to package directions. Season with salt and pepper or veggie seasoning.
