"Better Butter" Walnut Pear Pork chops & a CONTEST!

A good friend of mine is the co-founder of a new product called "Better Butter".  It's not butter, but rather a seasoning packet to mix with a stick of butter or margarine and then use that concoction to cook with or  pour over various foods.  I couldn't wait to try it and was finally able to run out and get a package. I used mine to cook pork chops, although the directions suggest putting it over a pork loin.  I may go ahead and try that  next.  



"Better Butter" Pork Chops
- 6-8 small boneless breakfast chops (these are the kind we like, feel free to use thicker ones)
- 1 package of Better Butter Walnut Pear mix
- 1 stick of butter/margarine (I used real butter - salted)

Mix the melted butter with a package of Pear Walnut Better Butter mix.  Lay the pork chops in a 9X13 baking dish.  Pour the Better Butter over the chops and cook at 350 for 30 minutes.



Voila!  It was that easy and delicious.  Some of the best and easiest pork chops I've made.
I served it with Uncle Ben's wild rice and I also spooned a little of the better butter over my rice.  Delish!  I also served it with my roasted Parmesan asparagus.


And the best thing about Better Butter is that it is made with all natural ingredients, take a look.......




Josh and I gave it two thumbs up!  The kids loved it too!  I'm running back to Gourmet and More to buy out the supply.  You have to try it.  There is also a Tomato Basil Better Butter, I'll be trying that one with chicken and pasta next.  







Now for the exciting stuff!!  One of the founders of better butter is giving me a packet to give away to a reader!  That's right!  You have until Friday at noon to leave a comment on this post in order to win.  Just tell me your favorite dish to make and you will be entered.  If you are local I will drop it off to you and if you are not I will mail it to you.  Good luck everyone!
