For a super easy dinner, place some potatoes in the oven to start baking before you begin browning the chops. Once the Vintage Oven BBQ Pork Chops are in the oven baking simply add a vegetable or salad, and you have dinner covered. Sometimes we like to serve these pork chops with Easy Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese, because, seriously, who doesn't like mac and cheese?
Pork chops are one of our favorite cuts of meat. Personally, I never get tired of eating them, because they are so versatile. Pork is mild in flavor and adapts well to a wide variety of seasonings, as well as preparation methods. Pork is also a great source of B vitamins. No matter how you cook, whether plain or fancy, pork chops make a meal you will enjoy.
This recipe from Sunset Magazine originally called for a 9-inch baking pan. For as long as I have been cooking this recipe, four pork chops have never fit into a 9-inch pan! You will want an inch of room around each pork chop. If the chops are too close together, they will not bake properly. I have routinely used a 9X13 pan for baking these chops, always to perfection!

adapted from: The Sunset Casserole Cookbook ( circa 1965)
325-degree oven
4 loin pork chops, cut about 1 inch thick
whole wheat flour
bacon fat or oil for browning
Garlic salt
Pepper
4 thin slices of lemon
4 slices onion 1/4 inch thick - you want to use a large onion and cover the entire chop, trust me
1/2 c brown sugar
3/4 c catsup
a dash of Frank's Hot Sauce if desired (I recommend!)
Sprinkle chops with whole wheat flour.
Brown chops in a frying pan, when browned on both sides, arrange in a square/rectangle baking pan or a casserole dish large enough to hold the chops without crowding.
Season with garlic salt and pepper.
Top each chop with a slice of onion, then a slice of lemon.
Combine remaining ingredients, stirring well, and divide evenly, spoon over the chops.
Bake 1 hour or until tender, in your oven.
