Dijon-Crusted Pork Chops



Active Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
INGREDIENTS
4 pork loin chops, 3⁄4 in. thick (about 11⁄2 lb)
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
3⁄4 cup seasoned dried bread crumbs
1 Tbsp canola oil
8 oz wide egg noodles
11⁄4 cups frozen mixed vegetables
1 Tbsp butter
1⁄4 tsp each salt and pepper
(check applesauce situation)

PREPARATION
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Place a sheet of foil on your kitchen counter. Measure mustard and bread crumbs separately onto foil. Coat pork chops with mustard, then coat with bread crumbs.

2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chops and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until bread crumbs are browned. Transfer to a foil-lined baking pan and bake 5 minutes or until cooked through.

3. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat 4 quarts water to a rapid boil over high heat. Add noodles and cook according to package directions. Add vegetables in the last 5 minutes of cooking. Drain and toss with butter, pepper and salt; serve with pork chops.

**Tried this one. Pork chops I got were too thick and needed extra cooking...throwing off the timing. Otherwise it was fine. Donny ate it :-). We did it with mashed potatoes, spinach (had some I needed to use up) and, of course, applesauce.
