Recipe Question

12 years ago

Hi everyone,

Just found this recipe online for Oven Baked Pork Chops And Hash Browns. I have one question about it. It calls for 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 can French fried onions. Mom doesn't care for either of those. Can we substitue mayonnaise for the sour cream and chopped onion for the fried onions?

Here's the recipe (I know the protocol LOL)

Oven Baked Pork Chops And Hashbrowns

6 pork chops

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup sour cream

1 cup grated Cheddar cheese

1 can (Durkee) fried onions

24 oz. package hashbrowns, thawed

Season salt

Pepper

Brown chops; season to taste. Combine soup, milk, and sour cream with 1/2 teaspoon season salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add hashbrowns. Spoon into 9 x 13 inch pan. Sprinkle on half the cheese and onions. Top with pork chops. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Top with remaining cheese and onions. Bake, uncovered, for 5 minutes.

Enjoy!

I would probably just use the sour cream. There isn't much in the recipe. The sour cream will be incorporated into the sauce mixed w/other flavors and not a separate finishing garnish. Of course that would be my solution because I don't like mayonnaise. The fried onions would be dry and the chopped ones wet. Maybe if you sauteed them to remove some of the water. You might want to mix some breadcrumbs into the top layer for crispness.

Just use regular cream instead of the sour cream.....mayonnaise would make it too oily.
The fried onions are only there for a crunchy topping. You could substitute chow mein fried noodles, or croutons or even cornflakes.

Nah...you'll be fine. Does ONE hab do much to that same pot of soup?? If that soup was just for me, I'd be throwing about 5-10 in that same pot. I'll grind up a whole one and throw in a BOWL of soup. But, I like hot, hot. Eating them raw and without any other foods is where one really feels the pain. Kevin

GWlolo, I didn't use the 1/2 cup of water to proof the yeast. I never proof. And in this case, my concern already was that the batter would be too thin for the Belgium Waffle Maker. I had to add extra flour. No reason why you can't add additional ingredients to this recipe, such as fruit, cheese, bacon, pecans, peppers, etc.. But I would add any additional ingredients, just before baking. I've found that keeping waffles warm for any length of time, will make them soft rather than crisp. My waffle maker is really quick. Takes about two minutes for each batch. I freeze the extra waffles and heat them up in the toaster oven. Crisps them up again. ~Ann

There's three sources of sugar. The brown sugar, sugar in the pineapple juice and sugar in the BBQ sauce. I would pound the breasts out some (not super thin). Would try to get them down to 3/4-1/2" thick so they would cook quickly. And I would use the indirect grilling technique, too, like Pkramer suggests.

Another Recipe Question - Homemade Biscuits

I made Trail's biscuits last night and they turned out perfect! Actually, I made half a recipe and, since I had no buttermilk on hand, I used lemon juice to turn the milk since I already had a cut lemon needing to be used. I've made plenty of biscuits from scratch before, but these are not only the best, but the easiest (no cutting in butter). I turned on the oven and put the milk/lemon juice in the freezer, assembled the dry ingredients, and melted the butter in the MW. By the time the oven was heated to 450*, the milk was already getting frosty. The butter performed perfectly and they stirred up in no time. The dough was slightly sticky so I added another Tbs or so of flour. Did the 3x letter folds and cut into square-ish shapes with a bench scraper. So easy, no scraps. Baked for 12 minutes. Flaky and tender, very tender. Browned beautifully. Thanks Trail. This recipe is perfect! *ETA: The Café Sucre Farine recipe I printed out uses 450 degrees, not 500.

Does she like the unflavored yogurt? I don't see why you couldn't sub that or I think I'd just leave it out, I really wouldn't think you could taste the sour cream though. As far as a topping, how about some crushed up potato chips? Dried bread crumbs maybe?

Thank you, everyone for your input!

Mom does not like sour cream, yogurt, or cream cheese one bit. She was just thinking of leaving it out. She loves the idea of subbing the croutons for the fried onions!

I don't think she will taste the sour cream in the casserole. My Dad doesn't like sour cream but I use it all the time mixed into things and he doesn't know it's there.
As far as topping, I would use some kind of crushed chip: potato chip, frito, etc. Something crunchy.
That recipe gets goods reviews, I hope you enjoy it!

The sauce will be a bit thick without something for the sour cream....plain cream will be fine.

But plain cream is expensive compared to sour cream which is why I still say use the sour cream. It will be undetectable.

Or use buttermilk, if you have some on hand, or just enough milk to make it a bit more moist.

Cream is lovely, but I never had any on hand and it IS expensive. I'd just use a bit of milk, and I also like the idea of croutons on top instead of those fried onions, which I don't care for either. Croutons or toasted bread crumbs for crunch.
