You guys love one pan recipes as much as I do. Some of the most popular recipes on this site are my One Pan Cabbage Casserole, Keto Chili and this delicious Cheesy Jalapeno Chicken! All of these recipes are ready in about 30 minutes and require only one pan! I love being able to get a hearty dinner on the table quickly with no tricky ingredients and minimal clean up. This One Pan Pork Chop recipe fits the bill perfectly!

What should I serve with Pork Chops and Rice?
The thing I love about this easy one pan recipe is that it is a complete meal on its own. Tender pork chips, black eyed peas, rice, bell peppers and onions make a very filling meal. However, if you’d like to serve this with something I would suggest my favorite Cheesy Cornbread. It is also naturally gluten free, very easy and pairs great with the pork chops.
Another recipe I love are these Sweet Potato Corn Muffins. If you like sweet cornbread this is for you. It doesn’t have any added sugar, but the sweet potato adds a great flavor and makes them ultra light and fluffy!
What are some other easy one pan recipes?
As I mentioned, one pan meals are my favorite. This One Pan Bacon Cheeseburger Mac is such an easy crowd pleasing recipe. It is loaded with cheeseburger flavor and even your pickiest eater will love it. Some of my other favorites are:
- Easy One Broccoli Cheddar Chicken (low carb and keto friendly)
- One Pan Taco Mac
