Cadillac Cowgirl Pork Chops with Apples and Cabbage

I made this easy dinner tonight and it was scrumptious!!! You could easily substitute chicken as well.....

Enjoy!!

2 Center Cut Pork Chops (Bone in, about an inch thick)
5 Pieces of Bacon, diced
2 Granny Smith Apples, peeled and sliced
1 Large Sweet Onion, Sliced
1 Head Cabbage, sliced
1/4 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 Cup White Wine (Such as Llano Estacado's Chenin Blanc or Woodbridge Moscato)
Lemon Pepper, Salt and Pepper to taste
Meat Tenderizer

Sprinkle the chops with the meat tenderizer and the lemon pepper; refrigerate overnight if possible (or 30 minutes before you start dinner). In a large dutch oven or nonstick skillet (with a lid), brown the bacon. Once crisp, move it to one side and lay the chops seasoned side down over medium high heat and sear. While that side is searing, sprinkle the side facing up with the lemon pepper and then turn over to sear that side. Add the cider vinegar to deglaze the pan and add the apples, onions and cabbage, turn the heat down to medium. Using tongs, mix everything around so that you get the veggies and apples coated with the cider and bacon grease (of course!!). Pour the white wine in and again stir everything to coat. Cover and cook everything on medium heat until the cabbage begins to wilt and the onions and apples start to become tender. Turn the heat to medium low and cook for another 15-20 minutes or until the chops are cooked through; salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!

Well, I'm off to mix spices for Texas Open this weekend. We're leaving tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully we won't get stuck in God awful traffic on the way. I'm sure we'll take the toll around or 281 the whole way. Either way, it's better than sitting in Austin on a Friday night. Hell to the No!

Gary had the top of the golf cart lowered. Great for short people like me and Gary. Not so great for tall people like Mark Sanders that ride in said golf cart on a regular basis. Nice!!

Keepin it real in Ellis County.....
