Pork Chop with Baked Beans for One

[Roberta]

Throw a can of baked beans into a casserole. Place a thick-cut pork chop on top, slather it with Dijon mutard. Then add a slice of sweet onion and a slice of lemon. Sprinkle over with pepper.

Bake covered at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Take the cover off and bake 10 more minutes. Adjust times if the chop is not very thick, otherwise the pork gets too dry. At least it would for me.

Serve with a simple salad and a glass of Chardonnay.

I would like to claim this recipe as my own, but, alas, it is not. It comes from my favorite cookbook, "Cooking for One is Fun," by Henry Lewis Creel.

This sounds really good, Roberta! I've never had that combo before!

I swear Lee, someone could just type the word "pork" and there ya are. lololol ;^)
Is pork your favorite meat? You seem to like pork recipes and out of the ones I've seen you post, they've been pork as far as I can remember.

LOL!!! Well, I guess it probably IS, Chow, now that you mention it!

It's such a versatile devil and comes in so many forms!

I love chicken, too. Except for a good burger, I can take or leave beef.

I love pork, too. Give me a pork roast any day over a beef roast.
