Super easy but use saltine crackers. Nothing else produces as crispy a crust. I used sea salt and unsalted crackers. The results were fabulous. This now is my standard way of fixing pork chops. Roasting white and or sweet potatoes along with the chops conserves energy. Serve with a green salad and you have a dinner fit for family or guests.

Great chops! These are a cinch to prepare and they brown up so nicely. I thought that mixing the butter with the crumbs was rather weird and might make the crackers soggy, but it works out just fine. I did increase the sage and thyme because I love them. I will definitely make this again. I had meant to take a photo but was so hurried to get dinner on the table before hockey that I forgot. Thx for posting this great recipe we loved it.

<p>My favorite thing to do is to spend time with family and friends, especially my two grandsons. Cooking, collecting recipe books and tried and true recipes from family and friends, and all the wonderful cooks here at food.com, is what I enjoy too.</p>
<p>My favorite sayings are: Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, and Today is a gift; that is why it is called the 'present'. <img title=Smile src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif border=0 alt=Smile /> and Remember yesterday, dream about tomorrow, but live for today. <img title=Smile src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif border=0 alt=Smile /> </p>
<p>My favorite poem is: <br /><span>Common Things <br /></span>The things I prize of greatest worth, <br />Are just the common things of earth; <br />the rain, the sun, the grass, the trees; <br />The flowers, the birds, the glorious breeze; <br />Clouds that pass, and stars that shine, <br />Mountains, valleys, all are mine; <br />Rivers broad, and open sea <br />Are riches none can take from me. <br />Our God is here on every hand, <br />Upon the sea, upon the land! <br />And day by day my thanks I give <br />That with these common things I live. <br />....Praying Hands</p>
<p>My pet peeve is people who spit gum on the sidewalk even if there is a trash bin a few feet away!! I have stepped in 'fresh' gum a couple of times!! </p>
