Ingredients:
- 4 Pork Chops ๐ฅฉ
- 1/2 Cup Ketchup ๐
- 1 1/2 Teaspoons Salt ๐ง
- 1/2 Teaspoon Chili Powder ๐ถ๏ธ
- 1 Cup Water ๐ง
- 1 Teaspoon Dry Mustard ๐พ
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar ๐ฌ
- 1 Lemon, Sliced ๐
- 1 Onion, Sliced ๐ง
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the ketchup, salt, chili powder, water, dry mustard, and brown sugar. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are fully incorporated, creating a smooth and flavorful sauce.
-
Assemble the Dish: Arrange the pork chops in a single layer in a greased baking dish. Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the pork chops, ensuring each chop is well-coated.
-
Add Lemon and Onion: Place a slice of lemon and a slice of onion on top of each pork chop. These not only add flavor but also enhance the dish’s presentation with a burst of color.
-
Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil or a lid. Bake in a preheated oven at 325ยฐF (165ยฐC) for 1 1/2 hours. This step allows the pork chops to become tender and absorb the flavors of the sauce.
-
Baste and Uncover: After 1 1/2 hours, carefully remove the cover. Baste the pork chops with the sauce that has accumulated in the dish to keep them moist and flavorful.
-
Bake Uncovered: Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes. This will allow the sauce to thicken and develop a rich, caramelized texture.
-
Final Touch: Before serving, spoon some of the sauce over the pork chops to enhance their flavor and presentation. Serve hot and enjoy!
