BAKED TERIYAKI PORK & VEGGIES

Baked Teriyaki Pork & Veggies image

Minimal preparation makes this dish easy. I use precut broccoli and boneless, trimmed pork chops to save time. Sometimes I throw in multicolored carrots for extra prettiness. Try it served over rice or noodles. -Billie Pock, Spring Creek, Nevada
