Cook mode

1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. While it warms, slice 2 cloves garlic thin. When the oil shimmers, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add 4 ounces of fresh spinach or kale, stirring often, until the leaves wilt and any liquid cooks off, about 3 to 4 minutes.4 min
2. Transfer the greens to a plate and season with salt and pepper. In the same skillet, pour the entire contents of the 15 ounce Marie Callender's box, breaking the pork chop into two pieces as you go. Cook, stirring occasionally to loosen any stuck bits, until heated through and the gravy bubbles around the edges, about 8 to 10 minutes.10 min
3. Divide the pork chop, mashed potatoes, and gravy between two plates. Top with the cooked greens and squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything. Taste and add more salt or pepper if needed.

Note Swap the greens for sautéed mushrooms or a bag of frozen broccoli if you prefer. Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for two days and reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water. Serve with a simple side salad or crusty bread to soak up the gravy.
