August 26, 2012 - Josie's Pork Chops Alfredo

This was a great recipe! And it is super easy to make! All the recipes we have tried have been good so far, so hopefully we will keep it up this next week! This is our last recipe for this week. Next week's is already lined up so keep reading! 

To add to the dinner, we ate a helping of frozen (cooked of course :-) stir-fry veggies, a butter sandwich (with low-carb Sara-Lee bread) and half an apple (apple cutters are the greatest invention!) This is a must try! 

This recipe comes from Linda's Low Carb Menus and Recipes. (We like her recipes if you can't tell. ) 

JOSIE'S PORK CHOPS ALFREDO

6 pork chops (we used 4 so we didn't have a ton of leftovers, just enough for lunch tomorrow)
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder, about
Salt and pepper, to taste
8 ounce fresh mushrooms, sliced
16 ounce jar Alfredo sauce
2 ounces parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon thyme, optional

Heat the butter and oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chops with garlic powder, salt and pepper and brown well on both sides. Place in a 9x13" baking dish and keep the oil in the pan. Sauté the mushrooms in the hot skillet until almost tender; scatter over the pork chops. Pour the alfredo sauce into the the baking dish over the pork chops. Add the parmesan cheese.  Sprinkle with thyme, if desired. Cover and bake at 300º for 1 hour. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
