Baked pork chops is a simple staple that can be cooked in a hurry, or dressed up for any occasion. Depending on the thickness of the chops, some may be able to cook in as little as thirty minutes. Better to be safe and healthy than sorry and parasite ridden. Bake pork chops with favorite vegetables for a healthy meal. Pork chops can be bought in large packages, split and frozen, or cook them all at once and freeze in individual, or dual, servings. Most vegetables go well with pork chops. Marination, while not necessary, infuses the meat with flavor.
