POPPIN' PORK CHOP SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the pork chops: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• In a baking dish, mix together the flour, seasoned salt, pepper and cayenne. Dredge both sides of the pork chops in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, and set aside on a plate.
• Add the vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet and heat until the butter is melted. Working in 2 batches, sear the pork chops on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, 2 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
• In a separate pan and working in batches, add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and toast the cut side of the buns until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Re-assemble the buns and set aside.
• For the cherry pepper mayonnaise: Mix together the mayonnaise, diced peppers, lemon juice and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl until well combined.
• For the sandwiches: Smear the cherry pepper mayonnaise onto each bottom bun, top with a pork chop, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, more mayonnaise spread and the top bun.
• Serve hot or wrap in sandwich wrap/foil for transport.
• To a small saucepan, add the rice wine vinegar, honey, crushed red pepper flakes, mustard seeds, dill and 1/2 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
• Toss together the cucumber and red onion slices and transfer them to a wide-mouth quart-size mason jar. Carefully pour over the warm vinegar mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours and up to 7 days.

PORK CHOP ROMANCE

Steps:

• Season pork chops to taste and dredge in flour.
• Lightly brown in oil and place in crockpot; top with onion slices.
• Dissolve or soften bouillon in hot water and pour over chops.
• Cook on low 7-8 hours.
• After the pork chops have cooked, stir 2 T flour into the sour cream.
• Stir into cooking juices.
• (It is not necessary for this to be totally blended into bouillon, but don't just dump it on top either.) Turn crockpot to high for 15-30 minutes or until liquid is slightly thickened.
• Serve with rice, noodles or potatoes as you choose.
• I have made this in a regular oven, baking it at 250°, for 2 1/2 hours or longer.
• The longer it cooks, the more tender, but i would not recommend over 3 hours total.
• The sauce from this is incredible.
• Make sure to have something to sop it up with.
• The gal that originated this recipe said she fixed it on the first dates of her roommate and herself, and they both ended up marrying the guys.
