When Iowa Pork Farmers recently reached out to me to create a sponsored recipe, I knew I wanted to do a pork chop recipe because I get so many emails about recipes for pork chops and how to cook the the perfect pork chop.
Truth be told, I was also VERY excited to work on this post because two of my best friends (Jent and Heather) are pork farmers. So I was happy to share a recipe in honor of farmers.
How to Cook the Perfect Pork Chop
We love pork chops around here and cook them often. Readers often ask me about how to get a tender chop. The secret to cooking the perfect pork chop involves paying close attention to the method in which you cook your chops.
Cooking Pork Chops on the Grill, in the Oven and on the Stove
One common mistake while cooking pork chops on the grill, stove or oven is that folks tend to overcook pork. When using dry heat like that of a grill, stove or oven, it is very important to stop cooking before the chop overcooks or it may turn tough or dry out. Cook fresh cuts of pork to a blush pink color and an internal temperature of 145. The best way to achieve the perfect tender, juicy pork chop on the grill, stove or is to use a meat thermometer (this is our favorite one) and remove the chop once it reaches 145 and let it rest a few minutes before serving or cutting into it.
Cooking Pork Chops in the Crock Pot and Electric Pressure Cooker
The opposite advice is needed when using moist heat to cook your pork chops, like in a crock pot or pressure cooker. The key to super tender chops in the crock pot or electric pressure cooker is often cooking it a bit longer, if your find your chop to be a little tough. Cooking longer under moist heat tends to create a more tender chop, the opposite of cooking under dry heat.

I love breaded pork chops
I love fried pork chops! Also a pork butt roast is pretty yummy!
Pork roast with sauerkraut is my favorite dish. Also bbq shredded pork is right up there too.
We so do love the ‘other white meat’. Our favorite would probably be smothered pork chops served over homemade mashed potatoes.
My favorite pork chop recipe has to be a simple grilled pork chop. I like to use just some Cookies Flavor Enhancer and man does it come out great every time.
We love to season thin chops and cook 3-4 min each side in a hot cast iron skillet. Then in the oven for 6 min at 400 degrees. Never fails. Always good. I hope I win!!!!
Thanks for this chance
My favorite pork chop recipe is the crispy pork carnitas they are so juicy !!
My favorite way to fix pork is to make a recipe called velvet pork chops. They are pork chops with a yummy sauce.
Smoked pork butt for this Texas girl! Rubbed down with a concoction of seasonings and smoked for several hours and it will fall to pieces once it has rested.
our family favorite is putting uncooked rice in the bottom of our crockpot then layer with browned chops, a can of green beans with juice, then a can of golden mushroom gravy sometimes I add some sliced mushrooms but not usually then slow cook it while at work/school and when you walk in the door mm mm mm the aroma

Our favorite pork chops are fried or homestyle ones in crock pot with gravy. We enjoy pork in about all forms.
My favorite is a pork tenderloin. There are endless ways to season it and prepare it, that you could have it every night and it would be a new experience each time.
I LOVE fried pork chops. That’s my favorite.
My absolute favorite pork chop recipe is my mom’s stuffed chops: 1 1/2-2 in thick loin chops, butterflied, stuffed with stuffing, seared, then finished low and slow in a thick and rich brown gravy.
