Are you ready for another freezer friendly meat recipe that is both foolproof and delicious? These freezer-friendly orange glazed pork chops take just minutes to prep but taste juicy and delicious. The whole family will enjoy this recipe.
So far we’ve tackled both chicken (with this to-die-for Honey Lemon Garlic Chicken) and beef (with this oh-so-easy London Broil), so I thought it was only fitting that we move on to something just slightly more challenging: Pork Chops.
The main reason pork chops can be challenging is that it is really easy to overcook them, which can make them dry and tough. Luckily this delicious orange glaze helps add a lot of moisture and flavor, but it is also important to cook them just enough. For pork it is super helpful to have a meat thermometer on hand so that you can take them out of the oven the second they hit 145 degrees. If you don’t have one, don’t fret too much, just set the timer on the low end and check them frequently to prevent overcooking.
I promise that the extra effort will be worth it–my family absolutely raved about this dish & literally could not get enough!
