Easy Salsa Chops

2 to 4 pork chops
1 large onion
1 pkg frozen country style hash browns (the cubed ones)
1 large jar of salsa (pick your favorite salsa, picante works best)
1 Tbs of oil
1 8 oz. pkg of your favorite shredded cheese

optional
1/2 bunch of cilantro

Dice onion
Heat large skillet to medium/medium high heat
Add oil
Add onion and hash browns
Cook covered for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally
Once potatos are mostly cooked, move potatos to the outer sides of the skillet and place the pork chops in the middle.
Cook the pork chops for about 5 minutes then flip them over and cook for another 5 minutes or until they are no longer pink in the middle.
Once the pork chops are done, move the potatos so that they cover the pork chops and pour the entire jar of salsa over the top. Spread the salsa to cover the entire skillet.
Lower heat to Low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add chopped cilantro if you wish.
Spread shredded cheese over the top of the salsa (use as much as you want), turn stove off, but put the cover back on the skillet and wait 5 to 10 minutes for the cheese to melt and the dish to cool down a bit.

Serve by scooping out the pork chops along with the potato salsa mix.

My whole family loves this dish.  I got the recipe from a brochure that came with the toaster oven that Adam bought me several years ago and I've been making it regularly since then.  It's easy and fairly fast.
