Garlic Pork Chops

Tonight I got inventive. I took 2 pork chops and seasoned them with Natures Seasoning, salt, and fresh garlic.

2 Pork Chops

4-5 cloves fresh garlic, chopped

Salt

Natures Seasoning

Put your meat in a pan add seasonings and garlic. Put a little bit of water in the bottom of the dish. This will help to keep the meat moist.

Cover and bake. I bake mine at 375 for about 30-45 minutes.

Ketchup Boy, aka my husband, says to tell you all it is delicious. LOL
