Tonight’s meal was supposed to be pulled pork sandwiches. But, since I did not make the pork roast the other night, I don’t have any leftover pork to make pulled pork sandwiches. So I went scrounging around in my freezer and came up with this meal. Colorful and well balanced!

Orange Cinnamon Pork Chops

Spice up your next pork chop night with this recipe!
Prep Time15 minutes minutes
Cook Time50 minutes minutes
Servings - 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 4 boneless pork chops
  • 2 oranges reserve juice
  • 2 Tbsp canola or olive oil
  • Dashes of cinnamon
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 12 oz. bag frozen green beans

Instructions

  • In non stick skillet, add oil and juice from 2 oranges and couple dashes of cinnamon. Place pork chops in skillet and let marinate 10-15 minutes. Turn on high heat. Cook on each side 4-6 minutes (depending on thickness of the chop!). Orange juice will turn into a glaze. Coat pork chop with glaze.
  • Slit sweet potatoes. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes in foil covered glass baking dish with 1/4 inch of water. Serve with cinnamon and butter if you like. Cooking sweet potatoes in this way makes them taste sweeter than if you were to cook them in the microwave.
  • Steam green beans as directed on package.
  • Serve pork chop with sweet potatoes and green beans.

    I will have to make this – my hubby just brought home about about 25 pounds of pork from Cub Foods, at $1 per pound! He bought 2enormous multi packs with chops, a roast, and who-knows-what-else in it. He even re-packaged it all for separated meals for the freezer for me! What a guy! 🙂

    Also, sweet potatoes and green beans are my kids’ favorite veggies.

    We may be having this a lot. 😉

    Love your blog!

    I recently saw you on the view, and I want to put your ideas to the test. How often do you use a crock pot?
