• Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, divided
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse salt
  • 8oz package of sliced FunGuy white button mushrooms
  • 4 1 inch thick pork chops
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • flat leaf parsley

Don’t be a boar in the kitchen tonight. Instead be a FunGuy with these easy baked pepper and balsamic pork chops!

It’s complete hogwash that there’s no time for a healthy dinner with a recipe like this one at your finger tips. With a little over five minutes worth of active time involved, there’s plenty of time to root out a healthy side or two to add to the menu!

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 400F.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, vinegar, black pepper, garlic powder, and salt together. Place the pork chops in a dish and add half of the marinade to them, turning the meat over in the marinade to coat each side. Let them sit in the marinade about 10 minutes. 
  3. Spread a layer of the onion slices and the sliced FunGuy mushrooms on the bottom of a baking dish that is large enough for the pork chops to lay in before adding the pork chops on top in a single layer. Spread the rest of the onions and mushrooms on top of the meat and drizzle the rest of the marinade on top of everything. 
  4. Bake the pork chops in the oven for 15-20 minutes. The pork chops are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145F. 
  5. Remove the pork chops from the oven and allow to cool 5 minutes before serving. 

Have a Fun meal!
