Ingredients
Instructions
- Season and fry pork chops until nice and brown in color.
- Place the cooked pork chops in a baking dish.
- Pour the mixture of barbecue sauce and water over the chops.
- Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 1 hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For optimal flavor, marinate the pork chops in the barbecue sauce for a few hours before cooking. If you don’t have Open Pit barbecue sauce, any sweet and tangy barbecue sauce will work. You can also use bone-in pork chops for added flavor and tenderness. If you want a bit of heat, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or smoked paprika to the sauce mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these E-Z Barbecue Pork Chops alongside classic American recipes like Donna'S Baked Beans or a fresh coleslaw for a complete meal. They also pair well with a side of corn on the cob or roasted vegetables. For a heartier option, consider pairing them with Deb'S Quiche for a delightful brunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pork chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chops in a baking dish with a splash of water to keep them moist, cover with foil, and heat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through. Avoid microwaving to prevent drying out.
