As a kid, I don’t really remember my mother making pork chops all that much for dinner.
We were more beef roast and casserole people, to be honest. It wasn’t until I got married that I understood the power of the almighty pork chop. My mother in law can make a mean pork chop dinner and she does so with minimal ingredients. The first time I had a pork chop dinner that I actually liked was at my husband’s parent’s house.
I think my MIL said she only used 2 ingredients in the recipe and one of them was the chops themselves. So what was the other? Old Bay Seasoning. Do you guys know how obsessed people in western Pennsylvania are with this stuff? They use it on everything. There are even potato chips seasoned with Old Bay that I certainly didn’t see being sold in Michigan when I lived there.
Shoot, I even saw cheese puffs seasoned with the orange, spicy goodness. Anyway, my MIL’s pork chops were insanely good and that is all she used to season them. This recipe for baked bone-in pork chops couldn’t possibly be any easier or tastier. Enjoy!

Quick Tip: This recipe is very versatile. If you don’t like Old Bay Seasoning feel free to use some other rub or spices that you appreciate.
I’d serve them with Snarly Rice. in cast iorn skillet sizzle 1/4 cup butter. 1/2 cup sliced almonds, 1/2 medium onion diced and pepper to taste (i use 1/2 tsp or so). Meanwhile bring 2 cups boullion (any flavor, I prefer salt-free) to a boil in a seperate pan. When the rice is lightly browned and the boullion is boilg, carefully stir the boiling boullion into the rice mixture. Return to boil, then immediately cover skillet and lower heat to simmer. allow to simmer, worrying it with a for every 5 minutes or so, for 20 inutes and remove from heat. allow to rest covered 5 miutes or so and serve with pork fish or poultry. I’ve been making this for about 40 years! It’s named for my daughter (my pet name for her) because she absolutley loves it!
I followed recipe they turned out very dry. I like old Bay in fish but didn’t taste that good on the chops
