Pork Chops

I have always had trouble finding a decent recipe for pork chops that the whole family likes. I finally came across two very different recipes that the kids devoured so thought I would share.

Tangy Barbecued Pork Chops
1 med. Onion
1/2 cup water
3 Tbsp. cider vinegar
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. prepared mustard
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire
4 - 6 pork chops

- In a small saucepan mix together the first 8 ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Add the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce to sauce pan and heat through.

- In the mean time, brown all sides of the pork chops and then place in a 13x9 baking dish (pre coated with cooking spray).

- Pour sauce over pork chops and bake at 350 degrees for 25-35minutes. May need to be cooked longer depending on how thick your chops are.
