Pork chops with onions and mushrooms

Every year in the fall, we order a half pig and quarter beef.  It is so nice and so economical having a freezer stocked with an abundance of meat.  If you can swing an up front cost, you can't beat the price of bulk meat purchases.

This means plenty of pork chops and steaks, which are usually a luxury.  After a while, I start looking for ways to jazz up our standard skillet pork chop.  I love to top my chops with yummy flavorful additions like olive tapenade, pineapple, or in this case onions and mushrooms.

It's so easy that it almost can't even be called a recipe.  Don't you just love easy?  I know I do!

You could even have your man take these chops out on the grill, and then all you would have to do is sauté the onions and mushrooms.  Serve alongside a big salad or steamed and roasted vegetables and you have a quick, easy, and delicious dinner.
