[This](http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Pork-Chop-Casserole) is more or less the recipe for pork chops that I grew up loving and eating French’s onions in. Not for the snobby, but really tasty and not difficult at all. ---

Sprinkle on soups instead of crackers. I love them on Creamy soups, like cream of potato. Yum. ---

I like the stuff they have at Trader Joe’s, but any market should have it. Tear up the slices of beef and arrange the pieces on a plate. Add salad. Since I’m lazy, I buy a bag of Spring greens and use that. Drizzle with the dressing, however much you want. **Top with French’s Fried Onions.** The last time I made it, I made a simple syrup. No desire to do that this time, so I used half ‘mild’ molasses and half Karo light corn syrup. In addition to the dressing, you’ll need salad (I tend to use bagged Spring greens), thinly-sliced roast beef, and French’s fried onions. ---

We put 'em on hamburgers and hot dogs. Mmmm. I think I picked that up in Denmark. ---
