OVEN BARBECUED PORK CHOPS
Prep Time: 15 mins * Total time to table is 2 hours to allow for slow braising.
************************************************** ************
5 thick cut pork chops (medium thick is o.k.; just do not use the thin chops)
One cup vidalia onion, chopped (or any other onion that you have to equal one cup)
Half cup brown sugar (pourable type brown sugar is easier to use)
Half cup ketchup
6 tablespoons vinegar (apple cider vinegar or white vinegar or red wine vinegar will do)
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce if you desire,
or not, if you don't care for it.
salt to taste
pepper to taste
************************************************** ****************
Combine everything (except the pork chops) in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer 5 minutes or so......
Place 5 pork chops in a rectangular baking pan.
Spoon sauce on top and cover. Be sure the sauce is on top of the chops plus all around them.
Bake at 375 for 1 hour 45 min..........or until FORK TENDER.
Every oven is different........but you shouldn't need a knife to cut these.....just plan ahead.
If they have to stay in the oven a bit longer, it's o.k. as the sauce just gets carmelized.
Serve with mashed potatoes or baked potato and veggie of your choice. Corn on the cob is easy.
Corn Bread is also a good side.
Men usually love these chops............kids too. Who doesn't like a fork tender pork chop?
Same "sauce" can be used on spareribs done in the oven. You can also increase the sauce depending on how many "ribs".
p.s. Veal chops can also be done this way.......
