Shake ‘N Fake

We had absolutely no Shake ‘N Bake in the house for our pork chops. Yes, we do eat them occasionally and the freezer has enough for 4 more meals. I Googled copycat recipes, but none seemed right. So I used ideas from three recipes, added my own touch, and created my own fake Shake ‘N Bake recipe. The photo is mine and shows my husband’s portion. I served garlic and fresh rosemary roasted potatoes and roasted broccoli with honey and Parmesan cheese. I went a little crazy with the cheese, but everything was delicious!

Shake 'N Bake prok chops was a main staple in our household when I was growing up. Been a long while since I've had some. Your photo and description has me craving an old favorite now.

@DianneN Next time I go to the grocery store, I will pick up some Shake 'N Bake mix and some pork chops and bake me up some total deliciousness!

That’s the only way I know how to make them. My parents never had pork or ham in our house. Try it! It’s delicious!

I had to check what Shake ‘N Bake is., flavored bread crumbs. I buy a big white bread at the bakery, I cut the crust, and slice, then dry in the oven to make my bread crumbs. I flavor according to what I need to coat. Your meal looks delicious, you make the potatoes exactly the same I do.

@DianneN Ready made croutons are not so good.

I’m too lazy to make bread crumbs, although I have in the past. Croutons, too. Of course we make our potatoes the same way! TWINS again!

I used to love a pork chop. Been nearly 10 years since I last had one. You can get an excellent fake pulled pork made from jackfruit. The closest I'll ever be getting to a pork chop!!

@DianneN Almost vegan. The only thing I eat that's non-vegan is eggs. That's the final step, which I may take during this virus pandemic as it's proving very difficult to get hold of eggs!!!

@DianneN The only constraint is on the days I go out to buy grocery like yesterday. It takes a lot of time to buy, And then to sanitize, and take bath.

I've never used Shake N Bake (my mom may have, not sure). Our general mix is flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper, sometimes paprika, then egg and panko (Japanese bread crumbs). Your meal here looks so yummy - and yah, Parmesan makes everything tasty. I've never had broccoli with honey - hey, I'm gonna try that !

That's a great idea. I haven't had pork chops in decades, bacon sometimes but that's it. Today I eat the last package of hamburger meat. I was just that hungry.

Your dinner looks delicious. I haven't had pork chops in awhile and now I wish I had some on hand. So, will you continue to make your own Shake N Bake or will you just wing it on your own next time?
