It was sooo yucky!
I have just one thing to say about tonight's bonus dinner. Ok, two. Yuck and never again. I will not have previously cooked pork chops prepared this way again.
Suffice it to say fully cooked pork chops that are frozen and then reheated from frozen in the microwave are leathery and disgusting. The cats ate it, but my human teeth are still yelling at me. And then there's my Dear Hubby! He really tried. And then I asked him if he'd rather go out. He just said, "Ok". No critique, no eye rolling, no funny faces, just "Ok".
We went to one of our favorite places, Charcoal Delights. They have lots of great non-gross food. I thanked the awesome girl behind the counter for saving dinner for us. I explained how my dinner was so yucky and she really bailed me out! :)
If there is a next time for this recipe, I will make this in two separate baking dishes, but only parbake one of the casseroles. I'll cool that one in the fridge and then freeze the dish for later, baking it (No more nuking pork chops) in the oven. If it is another epic fail, I'll abandon the pork chops for chicken which I know will work in the oven.
I also thought about marinating the chicken in lemon juice and thyme for a bit first. I don't know. I'm still kinda traumatized...
Tomorrow is Turkey a la King. That will be an awesome, predictable meal! :) Literally can't wait. Oh and you can add mushrooms to the recipe if you want. DH won't eat 'em...they squeak. :P
