This is one of my favorites. Pork buried in cornbread is perfect. You never know exactly how much pork you will get. It's like digging for buried pork treasure! With or without onions, this dish is delightful. The pork can be diced before hand to make eating easier. Peas and carrots mix well with pork and cornbread. Moist cornbread mingles with the fat and pork chop flavor to create a chewy and buttery dish perfect for sharing with friends. Buried pork chops can be prepared and slipped in the oven while reading a favorite book, resting, or finishing the laundry.
