This post on one sheet pan meals is sponsored by the National Pork Board, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Have you heard of one sheet pan meals? They're perfect for busy weeknights. Sheet pan meals are basically meals that are made on a single sheet pan. All you have to do is throw all of your ingredients onto one pan and in no time, you’ll have a meal that the whole family will enjoy. Plus, since they're cooked on just one pan, cleanup is very easy.
Now that the holiday season is in full swing, it’s been very busy around here. Between all the holiday shopping, gatherings, and just running around, getting dinner on the table has been a struggle.
This is why one sheet pan meals are so amazing. My go-to is pork chops.
Making pork chops as a one sheet pan is a win-win because they don't require much prep work, and they cook fast. They are a great choice for weeknight dinners and special occasions alike. Plus, pork is a versatile meal that tastes great with a variety of flavor combinations and cooking methods.
Here is a pork chops and veggies recipe that I like. This recipe is simple, fast, and family-approved.
After putting everything on a pan like this one, all you have to do is throw it in the oven and it is ready in less than 30 minutes.
