It was delicious. Made it for Valentine’s Day dinner. May beautiful wife felt the chili powder was a bit much but I think it was great. I would definitely make it again.
Great way to change up the pork chops. Thank you for the recipe! 🙂
I believe that such high heat ruins pork chops. I followed the recipe, but only kept the meat in the oven for 30 minutes. It was still too long. The sauce was delicious, and we poured it on the chops after they were cut. It helped, but the chops were still dry. I’ll try again in a couple of months on lower heat.
I made a couple of changes. I used balsamic vinegar, a touch of cinnamon and a splash of hot sauce. I doubled the sauce. I seared the chops in a cast-iron skillet, poured the sauce over them, and placed in a 350 oven. My chops were not quite an inch thick and were done in 20 mins. Next, I removed the chops from the skillet, added about 1 T of cornstarch dissolved in a bit of water to the sauce. Brought that to a boil, simmered a couple of minutes. The result is a thicker sauce.
YUM! If you like maple syrup, that taste really shines. I added apple slices half way through sauting the onions. I covered it in the oven and only baked it 25 minutes since my chops were thin. I recommend doubling the sauce mixture so you have enough to pour over mashed potatoes.
This was easy, quick and tastes wonderful – plus the ingredients are things that most households will have on hand! Everyone loved these.
My family loved these!
Really tasty! Followed recipe but reduced baking time to 40 minutes.
After reading reviews, I added some extra Maple Syrup. Glad I did! Cooked slightly less than 35 minutes and were still a little well done. My wife made a thickened sauce to cover the chops, helped a lot.
It was easy to make. My whole family loved it. My son asked for the recipe. The sauce is also good over rice.
Easy and tasty. I did however changed over the vinegar to Balsamic vinegar. Worked well with my Canadian Maple syrup.
i was not impressed it did not have enough favor for me
I really like it the chops were moist with great flavor. I will have it often.
This is a keeper!! The only thing I did differently was use Apple Cider vinegar instead of white vinegar. Not hard at all. I paired it with Parmesan baked asparagus and Bob Evans mashed potatoes from HEB. It was wonderful!
I did everything exactly as is, using exact same ingredients. The sauce looked so good and was so tasty. I was excited when I spread in over the pork chops and put them in the oven. I cooked for the 45 minutes required however mine came out slightly dry. I was very disappointed. And it lost some of the flavour of the sauce. If I make it again I will bake them for slightly less to try and prevent them drying out. However I’m not so sure I will make again.
I made this super easy recipe and it was so delicious and filling. Definitely gonna add it to the cookbook of recipes.
Followed the recipe, found the sauce to be too watered down, not a lot of flavour.
I made this dish tonight, but I was very skeptical about the the amount of time it said to cook the pork chops, especially at such high heat. I read the reviews and a lot of them said it came out dry. I put my chops in for about 15 minutes and then checked the temperature and it was already over 165 so I pulled them out, granted I don’t think my chops were an inch thick but even if they were I would still think 45 minutes is too long. overall the dish came out great. served with some steamed veggies and buttered baguette.
Kids enjoyed the meal. I doubled ingredients and added sweet potatoes.
While the sauce was delicious, I found the chops to be dry and tough. I did double the sauce thinking it would keep them moist based on prior reviews. I also lowered the temperature to 375. I think next time, I’ll marinate the chops, but pan fry them in my cast iron so they stay moist, keeping some of the sauce out of the marinade to use for serving.
It was ok
