Let me start off by saying: I am not a huge fan of pork chops but what I have learned is-- I just wasn't cooking them right all these years! After Jason kept asking me why I never made them I bit the bullet and decided to try out some new recipes with some 'chops'. This one is my new favorite. I just got done eating it and I would literally eat it tomorrow. Plus you probably have everything to make this in your fridge. I call it BBQ Pork because it is just that! You can use any bbq sauce out of a jar or your own recipe. For the cheese you can sub cheddar or cheddar jack, mozzarella, the options are as endless as there are cheeses. This is a super simple weeknight dinner but it also works well if you want to whip something up quickly for a dinner party. These pork chops are ascetically pleasing as well as super tasty! And you won't be wasting a ton of time in the kitchen because they come together so quickly! I'll show you!
I start off with butter melted in a pan. I love my cast iron skillet! I recommend using one!
Once the butter has melted add in any BBQ sauce you like- homemade or jarred.
Whisk together.
Add in your pork chops! Mmm- the ones above are for Jason i prefer mine trimmed *see below*
As you add them to the skillet quickly turn them in the butter/bbq mixture then allow to cook for 4 minutes per side.
This is my lil trimmed pork chop. I cooked it in a separate pan so I didn't over crowd the chops. I cooked mine for 3 minutes per side.
This is the BBQ sauce I used- tried and true- Mine and Jasons favorite!
If you haven't already, you should try it!
So after I flipped the chops and cooked a few more minutes I transfered them to a foil lined baking sheet. Since I'm always worried about thing sticking I sprayed the foil.
I grated up some Monterey Jack cheese and some jarred jalapeño slices- these are not spicy. On the jar it says tamed- thats how you know.
Add on some slices of jalapeño.
Top with some extra BBQ sauce.
Top with Monterey Jack cheese.
Stick under the broiler for about 3 minutes and this is the lovely creation that comes out!
All gooey and ready to be gobbled up!
I didnt broil them for too long, I just wanted to melt the cheese. Over cooking pork is very easy- as I know from experience. Keeping it in the oven for a minimum is always best.
Plate these chops up and you're ready to go!
I served my chops with cauliflower mac n cheese!
Mac n cheese!
No pasta!
BBQ Pork Chops:
3 Bone- In Pork Chops
2 Tbsp Butter
1/2 cup BBQ Sauce, divided
1/4 cup Monterey Jack Cheese
1/4 cup Jalapeno Slices
Over medium high heat melt butter and 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce. Once heated up add in pork chops and coat in sauce then cook for 4 minutes per side if not trimmed. If trimmed cook 3 minutes per side. Then add chops to a foil lined baking sheet. Top with jalapeño slices and remaining BBQ sauce and shredded cheese. Broil for about 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
hehe :)
