Family Favorites...Pork Chops Marsala


  The butcher at our local Fareway store picked out 3 center cut, bone in pork chops for me. I have quit fixing them, as we think they are tasteless and dry, but this recipe looked good, and the chops had some fat on them which helps with the taste.
  I did find that using the cooking time in the recipe worked well and they were very good. I will try making them again. I had fresh thyme from my pot of thyme, but you could use dried thyme also.
  The recipe is not from a cookbook, but rather from MyRecipes.com. I made a few simple changes, just to suit our families taste, but stayed fairly true to the recipe.
  I used Dry Sherry instead of Marsala wine as I always have that on hand. Also used regular sweet onion and fresh garlic instead of the bottled which I don’t use. Feel free to use either or change the recipe to suit your families taste. I don’t use cooking spray as I feel it leaves a aftertaste and a sticky residue in my pans, so used a very small amount of salad oil. Also floured the chops with Bisquick GF all purpose mix. I am going to give you the recipe with the changes I did, and hope you will like it as well as we did.
