Pork Chops in Black Beans

Submitted by arualanne

"I found this recipe on the what_a_crock community on livejournal. It was posted by delwyncole and sounds absolutely yummy. I can't wait to try it. It is pan cooked pork chops in black beans. They didn't give exact measurements so I am guessing with this. I had to transform the rough recipe into something more like a formal recipe. I am hoping I got the proportions right, but when I try it I will fix the recipe."

This is extremely quick and easy AND delicious. Wouldn't change a thing! I do think the bean and salsa mixture would be great on boneless chicken breasts or a salmon filet, cooked the same method. I am going to try that soon. Made for Spring 2011 PAC game.

What an easy and delicious weeknight meal, served with a tossed salad! I bought 3 thin chops (just over 1/2 pound) for the two of us, seared for 2 minutes per side, and used about 3/4 cup of salsa; I think maybe I'd up it to a full cup next time. Other than that I wouldn't change a thing; thanks!

This was really good. After pan searing it I put it in a casserole dish over the black beans then added about 1 1/2 cups of salsa. I also added a can of rotell (drained) to give it an extra kick. Cooked for about 30 minutes at 325 (Used 3 cans of beans (drained) and about 9 chops) topped it with a white cheese blend and the onions and served over a bed of rice. Very simple and did not have to watch it once all prep work was done. Very juicy

This recipe is a treasure. Delicious, beautiful and QUICK to throw together, just as written. I'll be making this one for years.

Delicious! I had super thick (about 1 inch) chops so they took a lot longer than I expected to cook through, but it all worked out fine :) The only change I made was Monterey jack instead of cheddar. I also added a tiny bit of water right after adding the beans and salsa as I was afraid it was going to burn. Once the chops started to release their juices, then I had a little too much liquid, but I just turned up the heat a tiny bit (which I did also to get the chops done as they were taking so long) and the liquid thickened up. This was a great easy one pan dinner. Thanks for sharing!
