I have made this recipe twice and loved it as much the second time as the first. So I thought I would share.

CAJUN PORK & BEANS

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 bone-in center-cut pork chops
1-1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, divided
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, seeded and chopped
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can Mexicorn, drained

Heat oil in a nonstick skillet. Rub both sided of pork chops with 1 tsp Cajun seasoning; cook 4 minutes on each side. Remove chops. Add onion and green pepper; cook 8 minutes. Stir in black beans, Mexicorn, and 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning. Add chop, cover, and cook 3 additional minutes.

Because there is only myself and my husband to cook for, I used two 3/4-inch pork chops but made the entire bean recipe. We ate a whole bunch of the beans and still had some leftovers that I plan on using for omelet filling tomorrow morning.

Since I was born in Louisiana, this sounds mighty good to me!  I was looking for something new to cook tomorrow. And I have everything I need. Thanks, VickiLynn!

Shari,

Let me know what you think about this recipe.  For me, it has made it to my "one of my favorites" list.

A tip when cooking -- Salt the pork chops on both sides before rubbing with the Cajun seasoning. It brings out the flavor a little more.

Thanks for the tip VickiLynn. I may try making this today.

I would bet that if you did not have pork chops on hand, chicken breasts would do!
But then Chicken and Beans does not sound so "catchy" 

Linda,

Coincidentally, my husband said the same thing about using chicken in this recipe. Personally I think using pork chops adds more flavor to the beans; but, I will try chicken next time I make this delicious recipe just so I can compare the two.  Also, you are right on about the catchy title because that is what caught my eye  .

VickiLynn, I did make this a couple of days ago & it was DELICIOUS!! My husband went back for seconds, too! I think this will be one of our favorites. I made it with the really thin "breakfast chops". (almost no fat, thin & small) Thanks for much for sharing this recipe!
