Mustard-Crusted Pork Chops

Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (or use 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh garlic
• 6 tablespoons favorite prepared mustard (I use honey mustard for this)
• 4 cups fresh breadcrumbs
• 7 -8 center-cut pork chops (about 3/4-inch thick)
• seasoning salt
• pepper (can use regular table salt in place of seasoning salt)

Directions

• 1 Set oven to 350 degrees.
• 2 Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
• 3 In a medium bowl mix together melted butter, chopped parsley, garlic powder or fresh minced garlic and 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) prepared mustard; mix in fresh breadcrumbs.
• 4 Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons mustard on both sides of pork chops (if desired you can slightly more than 2 tablespoons to spread on the chops) then season with salt and pepper.
• 5 Arrange in roasting pan.
• 6 Press about 1/4-cup of the breadcrumb mixture on top of each chop.
• 7 Bake pork chops until cooked through (about 30-35 minutes).
