Easy Amish Pork Chops: Here is a bit about this classic recipe: Pork chops are a favorite cut of meat in Amish kitchens. There are so many different ways to fix them: golden pan-seared pork chops. Or smothered in brown gravy pork chops. Or just rolled in a flour mixture and fried. Usually, pork is plentiful on Amish farms because either they have their own hogs or access to them through friends and family. And the pork chop is a tasty, hearty cut of meat.

Pot Roast & Noodle Casserole: This recipe is a very typical, easy Amish casserole that contains everything you really need for a hearty meal. My parents made the casserole just as the recipe appears but this is one of these recipes that has plenty of "elasticity", in other words, you can dump some potatoes and carrots in, or some corn, and spice it up the way you want: garlic powder or a hint of cayenne pepper if you like spice.
🎂 Trending Amish Desserts
Amish Peach Custard Dessert: This is one of these refreshing summer desserts that I'm always good at "discovering" when I visit an Amish farmhouse. This is one I found at an Amish home once. Delicious, refreshing dessert. Click here for the recipe.
Delicious Amish Apple Grunt: It's getting to be apple season! Here is a bit more about this seasonal favorite: the name probably came from the sound the pudding made as it bubbled and grunted beneath the biscuitlike topping. But one of our Mennonite readers told me this: I think that “grunt” in that recipe name is actually a PA Dutch word meaning something like earth or soil. The topping in the recipe resembles earth covering the apples.
In Dutch I would say, “I wash the “grunt” off the freshly dug potatoes, before bringing them in.” So that, to this ear, seems like a much more plausible answer than bubbling pudding!
