An Awesome Pork Recipe

The Pork and Potato Skillet I
made for dinner tonight.

I know there are a lot of people out there that don't eat pork. I totally understand that. But, for those of you who do, you definitely need to try this recipe! I only let our family eat pork once a month. This recipe is so darn good, that I've made it the last three months in a row! :-)

Pork and Potato Skillet

Prep Time: 10 minutes          Cook Time: 20 minutes         Servings: 4

Ingredients:
4 (4oz) boneless pork loin chops
3/4 tsp seasoned salt
2 tbsp cooking oil
1/3 cup chopped onion (1 small)
1 medium red sweet pepper, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
3 cups frozen diced hash brown potatoes (*This is what the recipe calls for. I normally use fresh potatoes that I dice up)
2 cups frozen peas and carrots
1 tsp dried thyme, crushed

Directions:
1) Sprinkle both sides of the meat evenly with the 1/2 teaspoon of the seasoned salt.
2) In a very large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat.
3) Cook chops in hot oil for 3 minutes.
4) Turn chops and cook for 3 minutes more or until brown. Remove chops from skillet.
5) Carefully add remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to skillet. Add onion and sweet pepper; cook and stir for one minute.
5) Add potatoes, peas and carrots, thyme, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt; mix well.
6) Cook for 6 minutes, stirring frequently.
7) Place chops on top of potato mixture in skillet; cover.
8) Reduce heat to medium.
9) Cook for 7-9 minutes more or until pork chops are no longer pink and potatoes are brown.
