An easy pork chop dinner recipe
I love making oven baked pork chops because they’re super easy to make and require very little prep, very little cleanup, and since they cook in the oven, you can take care of other things without having to pay constant attention to them. No need to fire up the grill and mess around with a pan. If I have frozen pork chops, I just let them defrost in the refrigerator before work, and they’re ready to cook when I get home.
Delicious pork chops with only 4 simple ingredients
For this recipe we’ll use bone-in pork chops, which naturally are more flavorful and juicy than boneless. The pork chops get seasoned on both sides with some salt and pepper, then rubbed with brown sugar. The brown sugar lends itself perfectly to the natural flavor of the pork to create a sweet and savory flavor you will absolutely love.
Easy to Make Pork chops in the oven
The pork chops will cook low at only 325 degrees F, for 25 minutes, then spend 5 minuted under the broiler. This final step caramelizes the brown sugar and gives the pork chops an awesome flavor and color.
I recommend pork chops that are about ¾″ thick. Also, be sure to pat them dry with a paper towel before you add the seasonings. This is important. Bake them in a shallow baking dish lined with aluminum. This way cleanup will be easy when those sweet juices drip down.

I did 4 pork chops, so I doubled the seasoning and it was just way too much pepper, I personally don’t like the flavour combination in these pork chops, the rest of the family loved them, only complaint from my boyfriend was that they were a little dry, I cooked them at 350 for 20mins. Thank you for the recipe.

I cook at elevation so recipe timing is a bit challenging. But this turned out quite well. I do not have sugar in my house so used a bit of honey instead. No need to broil, the chop down side on the foil was lovely enough when turned over. Let it stand for a few minutes before serving. A keeper recipe.

What a great rub, and super easy! Some of the most delicious chops I’ve ever cooked. Too damp and windy to fire up the grill so this is how we had our chops and just as good as the grill if not better! The broiling at the end of the cook time really seals in all the great flavors. Thanks for a great recipe!

I only had 1/2 inch pork chops but I wanted a new recipe. I really liked the rub flavor. I did make extra rub and put a lot all over the chops so I could have extra as a sauce. Everything was delicious. I will definitely use this recipe again.
