Don’t you love it when a complete meal can be made in one skillet that includes the meat and the veggies in a delicious sauce? Here I will show you a simple but tasty pork chop recipe which can be made in a cast iron skillet. It is pork chop bacon Brussels sprout, one of the best pork chop recipes. Brussels sprouts are cooked at the same time with the pork chops and the result is amazing----tender, crispy Brussels sprouts tossed in the fat released from the pork chops. I’ve shared a few Brussels sprouts recipes with you and I particularly love these mini cabbages.They are low in calories and very nutritious.If you are a fan of them, I’m sure you’ll like this fabulous one pan food. For this cast iron skillet recipe, I used boneless pork rib chops, which are very tender and require quick cooking.
