One pan pork chops!

So I've recently jumped on the one-pan meal bandwagon. This makes my life so easy, especially now that I'm single which means 1 night of cooking means about 3 meals. Yeah they're all the same 3 days in a row but I'm not too stressed when it comes to variation day-to-day if I'm saving money at the same time. This is a reaalllyy freakin' basic recipe, feel free to add any other spices you want.

- A solid handful or two of green beans, tipped and tailed
- 3-4 cups of mini red potatoes, halved or third-ed depending on size
- 4-6 Boneless pork chops
- 1.5 tbsp olive or canola or vegetable oil
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder

1. Set oven to 400f
2. Tip and tail your beans, cut your potatoes. Add to a medium bowl with 1/5 the oil. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Toss, add to an aluminum or parchment paper lined cookie sheet
3. Add pork chops to a bowl (ideally, have them brined beforehand and patted dry), add the other half of your oil. Toss to coat the chops.
4. Spread a space in the beans and potatoes for your first pork chop, repeat for your other 3-5 pork chops. Sprinkle the pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
5. Bake for 22-30 minutes. Less time if they're the thin-sliced chops.
6. Serve!
