SAUCY SALSA BAKED PORK CHOPS - WITH A TWIST !



Saucy Salsa Baked Pork Chops - With a Twist ! image

Tender, juicy and a bit sweet and spicy ! I looked for a recipe here that would incorporate what I had on hand for my pork chops but couldn't find one. So I came up with this! I made this in about 50 minutes (including prep time) so it was as fast as it was tasty ! The marmalade is a bit different but it really did add a nice sweetness to offset the spicy salsa. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did !

Time 50m

Yield 2 chops, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pork chops
1/2 cup mild salsa
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
1/2 onion, thinly sliced (optional)
salt
pepper
garlic powder

Steps:

  • Heat your oven to 375°F.
  • Heat your frying pan to medium.
  • Add the oil to the pan.
  • Add the pork chops. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  • Lightly brown for about 2 minutes per side.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the salsa (I used mild but you can choose the heat that you like) and marmalade.
  • Remove the pork chops and place into an oven proof dish. (I used a glass pyrex pie plate).
  • Smother the chops with the salsa mixture and chopped onions.
  • Put into the oven for approximately 40 minutes.
  • Turn the chops 1/2 way and baste with the sauce.
  • Serve with the extra sauce over the chops!

Tips:

  • Prep Time vs. Cook Time: Prep time is usually 10-15 minutes. Cook time varies anywhere from 20-30 minutes, depending on thickness and cooking method. Always check that the internal temperature reaches 145°F before consuming.
  • Best Pork Chops: Select pork chops that are at least 1-inch thick for optimal juiciness and flavor. Bone-in pork chops tend to be more flavorful, while boneless are easier to eat.
  • Seasoning: A simple blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika is a great starting point for seasoning pork chops. You can also add other herbs and spices like thyme, oregano, cumin, or chili powder.
  • Cooking Methods: You can bake, pan-fry, grill, or even slow-cook pork chops. Baking is a good option for beginners as it's a low-maintenance method that results in tender, juicy chops. Pan-frying is a quick and easy way to get a crispy crust. Grilling is great for a smoky flavor, and slow-cooking is perfect for fall-off-the-bone tenderness.
  • Sauces: Sauces can add a lot of flavor and moisture to pork chops. Some popular options include barbecue sauce, honey mustard, apple sauce, and gravy.

Conclusion:

Pork chops are a versatile and delicious cut of meat that can be prepared in a variety of ways. With the right seasoning, cooking method, and sauce, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. Experiment with different recipes and techniques to find your favorite way to cook pork chops!
