Baked Honey Garlic Pork Chops


Sometimes it’s nice to spice things up…in the kitchen that is! 
We were feeling like our meals were becoming boring and repetitive and decided to take a step out into the unknown! We found this recipe on our favorite standby, Pinterest, and cut the recipe in half in order to make a nice dinner for two! We were feeling a bit adventurous and since pork is an ingredient we have very little knowledge of we thought we’d give it a try!

Baked Honey Garlic Pork Chops


Ingredients:

3 pork chops (bone in)
1/2 cup ketchup
half of 1/3 cup honey
1/8 cup soy sauce
1/2 tsp minced garlic

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Start by thawing your pork chops in a pot of cold water.


We took this time to also peel and cut our potatoes. 
Here’s a little potato art for you.


Now it’s time to make the glaze! 
In a medium sized bowl add in the ketchup, 


honey, 


soy sauce,


and garlic. 


Stir with a whisk until combined and set aside.


Grease a 13 x 9 baking dish with Pam cooking spray.
Rinse off and place your pork chops in the greased dish.
Lightly sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. 


Spoon the glaze over both sides of each pork chop.


Bake for 25 – 30 minutes (we did 27 minutes). 
DO NOT flip these over or you’ll lose the sauce. 
That’s something that we learned the hard way. 


Serve with whatever sides you prefer. 
We went with an old favorite, mashed potatoes and gravy!


This recipe was a great take on an old classic. The sauce had a hint of tangy sweetness but it wasn’t overpowering. It enhanced the flavor of the pork and was even better with the mashed potatoes as a companion.

Cheers!
