Bar B Q Pork Chops

I got this recipe from my grandmother, and is one of my favorite. I remember eating these as a kid and fighting over the last one. They're very simple and cheap. In fact i've been told they were 'hillbilly' pork chops, mostly becasue i've always referred to them as 'ketchup pork chops'. I guess that just doesnt sound too appetizing to most people. It wasnt until i was dating a japanese guy who tasted them and said 'it's homemade bar-b-q'. Yay! Now when I say i'm making these no one is like 'uh what?'.

They cheap (the best part), sweet and tangy, and go great with mashed potatoes, cream corn, and buttermilk biscuits.

Serves 4

Ingredients

4 pork chops
2 cups ketchup
1 cup brown sugar
1 lemon sliced
Olive oil


1. Preheat oven to 375. Line Baking sheet with tin foil.
2. Gently rub the pork chops with the olive oil. Use just a drop for each one. (The oil makes the meat jucier).
3. In a bowl mix the ketchup and brown sugar. Slice the lemons. Totally coat the pork chops in the ketchup mixture, place on the baking sheet, and top with a slice of lemon.
4. Cook for 45 minutes.
