Savory dinner!!!

I made pork chops, mashed potatoes and green beans last night for dinner. Let me tell you that it was so good; the mashed potatoes were better then the ones I've had at a restaurant (with skin and all) and the pork chops had the best taste ever because of the sauce that they were marinated in. Let me share with you the recipes of both of my awesome dishes. Enjoy!!!!

Marinated Baked Pork Chops

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice ( I used apple cider vinegar)
4 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons ketchup
4-6 pork chops

Directions:


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a small bowl, thoroughly blend soy sauce, vegetable oil, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, and ketchup.

Place pork chops in a medium baking dish, and spread with 1/2 the sauce.

Bake pork chops 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Turn, and spread with remaining sauce. Continue baking 30 minutes, or until internal temperature of the chops has reached 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
This sauce tastes like homemade barbecue sauce but better!!!! It's delicious.
The mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious, they really went well with this pork chops. Here is the recipe.

Savory Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients:

4-6 unpeeled potatoes, cubed
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:


Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add potatoes, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

Drain potatoes, and transfer to a bowl. Add butter, and mash with a potato masher or electric mixer until potatoes are starting to become smooth. Add milk and sour cream, and mix to your desired texture. Careful not to over mix the potatoes once they are creamy. Season with garlic, salt and pepper.
Here is my finished product!!!!
