This is a great week night meal because it's easy to prepare and simmers on the stove for quite awhile. Not quite as good as throwing it in the oven, but the simmering will yield meat that's super tender.

The layered parmesan adds complexity and just plain good taste to the dish. Yukon gold potatoes are especially known for their buttery flavor. Add a salad or some green vegetables and you essentially have dinner made! I've also discovered that once fully cooked, this dish makes a great freezer meal to pull out later for homemade t.v. dinners.

You will need:

2 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil

4 pork chops (1/2 inch thick), trimmed

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

4 Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced

2 medium onions, sliced (I find sweet onions work the best)

3 cubes beef bouillon

3/4 cup hot water

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions:

Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Coat the pork chops lightly with flour, and place in the skillet. Brown about 4 minutes on each side. (Believe it or not, this step is what makes the pork chops super juicy and tender.)

In a small bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle 1/2 the Parmesan cheese mixture over the pork chops. Layer chops with the potatoes.

Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese mixture. Top with onion slices.

In a small bowl, dissolve the beef bouillon cubes in hot water. Stir in the lemon juice. Pour over the layered pork chops.

Cover skillet, and reduce heat. Simmer 40 minutes, until vegetables are tender and pork chops have reached an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
