Sweet and sour chops cooked with thin slices of onion and lemon. Whether it’s the middle of the week or the weekend, this dish is perfect for dinner.
One dish that always seems to bring people together is pork chops supreme. My mother used to make this to entice us and to give us as a reward when we were good. After I learned how to cook and started my own family, it quickly became one of my favorite meals to make. This recipe has been adapted from a Betty Crocker cookbook from the ’60s. My mom gave me this cookbook the day I tied the knot. That meal was one of my earliest culinary successes. My current spouse shares his earlier appreciation for it. And the first time the kids tried it, it was love at first bite.
An amazing and delectable dish, pork chops supreme is also ridiculously simple to make. Create this as a special treat for your loved ones or just for yourself.
