Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the liquid from the pineapple and sweet potatoes, add spices, and pour over pork chops, onion, and pineapple.
- Bake, covered, at 350°F for 1.5 to 2 hours.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider marinating the pork chops in the pineapple and sweet potato liquid overnight. If you don't have pumpkin spice, a mix of cinnamon and nutmeg will suffice. To enhance the dish, you could also add some chopped bell peppers or carrots for added texture. This recipe is similar to Onion-Baked Pork Chops, where the onion adds moisture and flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these pork chops with a side of steamed green beans or a fresh salad to balance the sweetness of the pineapple and sweet potatoes. For a comforting meal, mashed potatoes would also be a great pairing. This dish pairs beautifully with Sweet And Sour Bacon Dressing, adding another layer of flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Siris Iv Pork Chops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chops in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F until heated through. This will keep the pork moist and flavorful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use boneless pork chops for this recipe?
Yes, you can use boneless pork chops, but keep in mind that they may cook faster than bone-in chops. Adjust the baking time accordingly, checking for doneness after about 1 hour.
What can I substitute for crushed garlic?
If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use garlic powder as a substitute. One clove of garlic is roughly equivalent to 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder. Adjust to taste based on your preference.
Is it necessary to cover the dish while baking?
Covering the dish while baking helps to retain moisture, preventing the pork from drying out. If you want a crispy top, you can uncover it during the last 15 minutes of baking.
