Drunken Pork Chops

Wowee! Is that a word? These were yummy! I'm always looking for new and different ways to prepare pork chops and pork for that matter. I don't have a ton of recipes I fix using pork. But, now I have a new one! These were so good. Sweet on the outside, savory on the inside. It was a great combo. Definitely make these. I"m thinking of trying it with a tenderloin, wondering if it would be just as yummy, I'll let you know how it turns out! I served this with green beans and restaurant style smashed potatoes, that recipe is coming soon. They were also absolutely amazing!

Drunken Pork Chops

from Siggy Spice

Ingredients:

5-6 pork chops- bone-in or boneless, your choice

Salt and pepper to taste

olive oil

1 bottle of beer (the darker the beer, the more flavorful the sauce. I used Fat Tire. There have been mixed reviews using Guiness.)

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup ketchup

1 Tablespoon cornstarch

1/4 cup water

Directions:

Heat about a tablespoon of  olive oil in the bottom of a skillet on medium-high heat. Season the chops with salt and pepper.  Place pork chops in skillet and  brown both sides. While pork chops are browning, combine beer, ketchup, and brown sugar in a bowl. Pour sauce mixture over the pork chops and simmer over low-medium heat for 40-45 minutes. Remove pork chops and thicken the sauce for serving. In a small cup, combine 1 TBSP of cornstarch in 1/4 of water. Stir to combine and add to boiling sauce, whisk so no lumps form. Put pork chops back in the thickened sauce, flip to coat. Serve over mashed potatoes or rice.
