I am terrible at cooking meat. I can cook frozen chicken breast in the oven, fully cooked cured pork chop thingys from Hy-Vee on the George Forman, hot dogs, hamburgers on the grill, and shrimp on the grill. But when it comes to other types of meat, I just never know how to make it taste good, or different recipes to try with it. So I looked in my freezer and found out I had pork chops and decided they would be good with my potatoes and onions. I Googled pork chop recipes and most of them included browning them in a skillet. I didn't really want to to that (too much work--I wanted to throw it in the oven and forget about it) so I continued looking and found the following recipe at Cooks.com. It was really easy to make and it made the house smell WONDERFUL!
Ingredients:
Pork chops (obviously)
Large sliced onion
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup ketchup
water
Steps
--Put all ingredients (in order listed above) into oven dish and bake covered for 2 hours, uncovered for 1/2 an hour
**Super simple!
*The original recipe called for 4 slices of onion--I just cut an entire onion
*It also called for 4 slices lemon--I didn't have any so I just left it out
*I put the 1/4 cup ketchup on, but then it didn't look like enough, so I squirted some more
*The original recipe didn't call for water, but I added it anyway. Just enough for the meat to simmer in it
*I think next time I want to marinate the meat a little--it was good, but I think marinating it could make it better. Any suggestions???
