- In a bowl, mix chopped onion, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, water, vinegar, chili sauce, brown sugar, dry mustard, and hot pepper sauce.

- Cover the casserole dish and bake for 40 minutes.
- Uncover and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, marinate the pork chops in the sauce mixture for a few hours before cooking. If you don’t have chili sauce, ketchup mixed with a bit of hot sauce can be a good substitute. For a twist, add some diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the sauce for added texture. Always ensure pork is cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Serving Suggestions
Serve the BBQ pork chops with a side of mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the flavorful sauce. A fresh green salad or steamed vegetables can balance the richness of the dish. For a complete meal, consider pairing it with Baked Water Chestnuts for a crunchy contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover pork chops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a covered dish in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, until heated through. You can also use a microwave, but this may result in a less juicy texture.
