Delicious Brown Sugar Chops

Instructions:

1. Prep the Pork Chops:

   • Pat pork chops dry.

   • Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using).

2. Make the Brown Sugar Mixture:

   • In a small bowl, mix brown sugar with a splash of vinegar or mustard if using — this helps balance the sweetness.

3. Sear the Pork Chops:

   • Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.

   • Sear pork chops for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.

4. Add the Glaze:

   • Lower heat to medium-low.

   • Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the chops.

   • Add water or broth to help create a glaze.

   • Let it simmer gently for 5–7 minutes, spooning glaze over chops occasionally, until they’re fully cooked (145°F internal temp).

5. Rest & Serve:

   • Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

   • Spoon any remaining glaze over the top before serving.

Serving Suggestions:

• Sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, or steamed green beans.

• Extra Glaze Tip: Add a touch of soy sauce or a dash of chili flakes to tweak the flavor profile.
