I have a secret for baking pork chops. I went to a lecture hosted by Indiana Farmers that was about pork. There I learned that pork needs fat for flavor. Our US standards have changed, cutting more of the fat off the meat. That concept sparked an idea, add flavor! Before when I baked pork chops they always tended to be dry and tough. Then I added a pat of butter on top of each pork chop and spiced them with any blend of spice I had. It was life changing!
When I received spices from Olde Westport Spice I wasn't sure what I was going to make with them, then I thought about the pork chops. I added the Mesquite spice giving each chop a generous sprinkle. Baking them at 350 degrees for about an hour (because I needed the bake potatoes to finish up), we ate them for dinner. The Mesquite flavor was present but slight. The flavor was a light smokey addition. Next time I make them, I will probably add the Garlic spice to it as well.
