Often times, when I make my grocery list, I fill it with items that I know I'll use, but haven't found the perfect recipe for just yet. This was the case when I bought pork chops last week. We both enjoy them, but I've only made them one way, and although we love the recipe, I knew I should eventually expand my repertoire.
This week's menu called for pork chops on Monday night. So, in typical wifely fashion, I took them out of the freezer to thaw Monday morning, and still wasn't sure what I'd be doing with them when prep time came. The recipe I normally follow (inspired by the SIL) calls for fresh mushrooms and a can of cream of mushroom soup. But, since neither of these items were in my kitchen at the time, I went to good old Twitter for some simple recipe inspiration.
Just a few minutes later, Becky sent me this pin, and I was immediately sold. The best part about this recipe (other than how tasty the rub is) is that I already had all of the ingredients in my spice/baking cabinet!
This recipe was simple. It was delicious. The perfect amount of sweet and tangy. And, once I shared it via Instagram, I had a few requests to share it here on my blog. Of course, I'll oblige!
Glazed Pork Chops Recipe (also found here)
Ingredients
4 thick cut pork chops
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (I omitted this time, because I can't do much spicy)
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Start by preheating your oven to 350. Then combine brown sugar, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix well.
Rinse each pork chop under cold water and then rub both sides of each with the mixture until they're covered. Heat about 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, and once oil is warm, place the chops into the pan.
Cook the chops for 5 minutes on each side. Then, remove them from the pan and place on a foil lined baking sheet. Pop baking sheet in the oven to continue cooking the chops for another 5-7 minutes.
Voila! It's really that easy. I served mine with roasted garlic and olive oil couscous and peas.
I would definitely recommend that you try these as soon as possible! They're super yummy, so easy, and a definite husband pleaser :o)
