Whats the best way to make frozen pork chops?!
I'm cooking for myself, my lady (who doesn't eat pork usually, so I need a dang good recipe!), my brother and his roommate.
We don't like sweet, generally. We're big fans of spicy. Since its pork, I don't want it to dry out, otherwise it won't be savory.
I'm VERY open to new ideas. Please help! Save me from doing shake n bake!
Thank you!

Answers: I've got two packages of thin-cut frozen pork chops, each with 5 or 6 (so I need to prep 10-12). I don't want to do shake n bake, that's just boring.

Hope you enjoy these delicious recipes!
so usually wiht pork chops you place them in a skillet with enought water to cover almost the whole thing...boil it a little on both sides then drain, season and fry on both sides...empty a can of cream of mushroom soup into the skillet wiht a little milk as well and let simmer for about 20 minutes until done. They don't dry out, you can season to ur spicy needs, and it is VERY good!
Season your pork with Sazon seasoning by Goya and Garlic Salt. Then, fry in a large skillet with enough oil to fill the bottom of the skillet. Then, take a can of baked beans, and using a spoon(with the openings for juice to spill out) take some beans and place them on and around the porkchops so they cook along with them. It gives even more flavor!
Now, this is how I usually cook my pork chops (rib end). But, if you guys like spicy, you might want to do (before cooking) a nice layer of hot sauce on the pork chops, before placing in the skillet to be fried.
Thaw meat completely, season with salt, pepper and begin frying in a large pan with a blend of olive oil and butter, brown one side and turn over, add several large sliced onions ontop of meat, cover pan and allow to simmer until tender. Juices will form to make a fine gravy if desired. (the seasoning - dried rosemary works well here).

Paige's Perfect Pork Chops Recipe
Ingredients:
2 3/4 inch thick, boneless Pork center loin chops
1 bouillion (chicken) cube
1/4 cup hot water
2 TBSP Grey Poupon
2 small onions
fresh ground pepper
Directions:
I always start any pork chop recipe with frozen chops. They never dry out that way! Start by searing both sides of the frozen chops. I used a ridged grill pan, and made a nice crisscross pattern. While searing, dissolve the bouillion in the hot water, and add the mustard. Stir well. Cut off the ends, and peel the onions, then cut in half cross wise to make 4 thick "wheels". Place the onions on the bottom of the Crockette in a single layer. Once chops are seared, place them atop the onions. Sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper to taste, and slowly add the liquid over all. I cooked it for abut 4.5 hours, and it was delectable!! Melted in my mouth! I served it with steamed green beans, baby carrots, and baby red potatoes. The liquid and softened onions were wonderful served over the vegetables!
