Ingredients

• 4 - 6 pork chops 
• 3 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, or to taste (divided)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes

Here's how to make it: 

1. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to a skillet. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons (or to taste) of the Cajun seasoning. Bring to a simmer and cook about 10 minutes.
2. While the sauce simmers, heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in another skillet. Season the pork chops with some Cajun seasoning. Cook in the hot oil until golden on both sides and cooked through. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops.
3. Taste the tomato sauce and add salt and pepper, if needed. To serve, spoon the sauce over the pork chops. 

Note: You could also undercook the pork chops slightly and finish cooking them in the Cajun tomato sauce.
