We set a record for the coldest morning on this date, 18 degrees! But the sun came out and it was around 45 degrees. Our temperatures are to get warmer as the week goes on, at last! Got out side and was able to clean the some of the outside windows, and they needed it. Then went and had my car washed and the inside cleaned. Back home for some NCAA Basketball for the rest of the afternoon. For dinner tonight it's a Cumin Spiced Monster Pork Chop w/ Mashed Potatoes, Cut Green Beans, Baked Corn Muffins.
I picked up a huge package of Pork Chops on my last visit to at Costco and had them in the freezer. Costco has some of the finest meats around and the Pork Chops are right there with some of the best! The good thing about these Chops are They are so big that there’s plenty leftover for my Breakfast the next morning! I got one of the Chops from the freezer and let it thaw overnight in the fridge. To prepare my Chop I’ll need; The Cumin Spiced Rub which consists of 1 tbsp Roasted Cumin, 1 tsp Garlic Powder, 1 tsp Chili Powder, 1 teaspoon Sea Salt, 1/2 teaspoon Hungarian Paprika, 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper. To prepare it preheat oven to 400°. Combine all the ingredients; rub it all over the pork chop. Let stand 20 minutes. I had to increase the cooking time due to the size of the Chop. Start by heating the oil in a Cast Iron Skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork to pan; cook 4 minutes, browning both sides. From the stove to the oven and bake at 400° for 25 minutes until the thermometer registered 150° (slightly pink), turning after 5 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Fantastic combo of Spices, which makes one incredible Crust on the Chop with the inside being tender and moist! Love this seasoning on Pork!
For one side dish I heated up some Bob Evan’s Mashed Potatoes, just microwave for 6 minutes and serve. Just as good as homemade, if not better. Then I heated up a small can of Del Monte Cut Green Beans. Also I baked some Corn Muffins. I used a box of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix. Easy to prepare and so delicious, been a long time since I've had these! For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.
