Waffle House Pork Chops Recipe
A sizzling, well-seasoned pork chop straight off the griddle? That’s Waffle House at its best!The secret is a simple but highly effective seasoning blend that brings out all the rich, savory notes in the meat.I always use bone-in pork chops because they hold onto moisture better, keeping them from drying out.Letting them sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking helps them cook evenly.A hot cast-iron pan is non-negotiable—it mimics that flat-top sear you’d get at Waffle House.Once they hit the pan, they need to stay put so they develop that deep brown crust before flipping.Resting them for a few minutes after cooking lets the juices settle so every bite is as tender as possible.
