Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the pork chops in the mustard and catsup mixture for a few hours before cooking. If you don't have celery, finely chopped bell peppers can be a great substitute. Ensure the pork chops are evenly browned for a better texture. If you're short on time, you can skip browning the chops, but it enhances the flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bone-in pork chops instead of boneless?
Yes, you can definitely use bone-in pork chops for this recipe. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time slightly, as bone-in chops may take a bit longer to cook through. The bone also adds extra flavor to the dish.
What can I use instead of catsup?
If you don't have catsup, barbecue sauce can be a great substitute, adding a different flavor profile. Alternatively, you can blend tomatoes with a bit of vinegar and sugar to mimic the sweetness and acidity of catsup.
Can I make this dish in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dish up to the point of baking, cover it well, and refrigerate for a day. When ready to serve, just bake it straight from the fridge, adding an extra 10-15 minutes to the cooking time to ensure it's heated through.
