Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 (4 ounce) boneless pork loin chops
1 -2 tablespoon oil
1 medium onion, sliced and separated into rings
1 cup chili sauce (sub cocktail sauce if you don't have chili sauce)
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Heat the oil over med-low heat in a large skillet. Place the chops in the skillet and top with the onions. Place a lid on the skillet but do not cover completely. Cook until about 2/3 done.
  • While the chops cook, stir together the remaining ingredients. Pour over the meat and replace the lid leaving it cracked to allow excess steam to escape as before.
  • Cook until juices run clear and the sauce becomes a bit thicker like a glaze. Serve with long-grain rice.
  • NOTE: The original recipe was cooked in a microwave. Here are those directions. Place the pork chops in an 11x9 glass baking dish sprayed with non-stick spray; top with onions. Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the chops. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 15 minutes or until meat juices run clear. I don't know that I would cook these chops in the microwave for fear they'd be tough.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use thick-cut pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick.
  • Season the pork chops generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet until they are browned on both sides. This will help to seal in their juices and prevent them from drying out.
  • Transfer the pork chops to a baking dish and top them with the sauce. Make sure that the sauce is evenly distributed over the pork chops.
  • Bake the pork chops in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through. The internal temperature of the pork chops should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the pork chops immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
