I made these pork chops for dinner one night when the Angel Face was visiting.  She loves pork chops and she really loves baked beans and she really, really loves baked potatoes.  It was a very brown dinner, but very delicious and she was very, very happy.

I happened to have a bag of pecan meal in my freezer but if you don't you can make your own by toasting pecan halves or pieces and giving them a whirr in the food processor.
