Frugal Menu Mamas

Tonight, I made 2 Easy Pork Chops.  They were easy, but I think I cooked them too long.  We dipped our’s in additional BBQ sauce.  I forgot to take a photo again!  Hubby has a new fancy camera, so I will try to get on the ball here.  I would probably use this recipe again if we were tired of the Parmesan Pork Chops, but that is hard to imagine.  I love the Parmesan Pork Chops much more than this.  :)  You can let me know what you think if you try it.  By the way, I’d like to give credit to who I got the recipe from, but I can’t remember…sorry!

2 Easy Pork Chops

2 pork chops ($1.78/lb. @Sam’s)

1 egg ($.10)

2 Tbs BBQ sauce (~$.05)

1/3 cup bread crumbs (~$.20)

2 tsp Parmesan cheese (~$.10)

1/4 tsp oregano(~$.05)

1/4 tsp lemon-pepper seasoning (didn’t have any…used pepper and lemon juice!  :)  ~$.10)

-Combine egg and BBQ sauce in bowl. Combine other ingredients in zip-lock bag.

-Dip chops in egg mixture then in bag and shake. Bake at 325 for 1 hour.

TOTAL=$2.23

I served this with rice ($.30) and a can of LeSeur peas (~$1.10) for a total of $3.53.  Very frugal!  I am going to try to post the prices as much as I can again.  I hate it when a magazine or cookbook advertises “frugal recipes” and doesn’t put the cost…what is frugal to them may not be frugal to me.  One site that is fantastic about putting the cost (and gave me the idea) is $5 dinner mom.
