  10. To grill chops, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill chops until nicely browned on each side and slightly pink in the center, about 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chop should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Amazing – I subbed stone ground mustard, and the seeds gave a good texture to the sauce (I boiled the leftover marinade while I grilled the chops). The sauce MADE our dinner.
Kayla Contreras
So good! I’m going to try it in the crackpot next.

The best pork chop marinade I’ve ever made! I usually do a honey garlic marinade but for pork chops I like this marinade.
Pamela Weaver
Really moist and flavorfull!
Jasmine Walker
I modified the recipe a bit. I used Colemans dry mustard and Memphis style pork rub and let it sit for 24 hrs in the fridge. Very good, even the wife said so.

We have this marinaded pork at least once a month. Pork chops and Country ribs are so cheap. Tomorrow I’m trying it on chicken. I double the recipe and it is enough for a gallon freezer bag FULL of pork. I usually make 3 bags at a time. I’ll leave one bag in the fridge overnight and the others go right in the freezer. I use liquid smoke, garlic powder and honey Dijon mustard (Walmart $1.50), however, I cut the sugar in half. There is plenty for dinner, work lunches and sliced thin for Chef salads the next night. I personally think they taste better the next day. Very tender and juicy. We’ve had just about every kind of vegetable. Everything goes good with these. I follow the same recipe with my changes every time and I’m still amazed how much I love it each time I make it.

Smelled amazing! I lowered the sugar a little and replaced the mesquite seasoning (didn’t have any) with liquid smoke and all purpose seasoning ( Vegeta).

This is an excellent marinade and a nice change up from the traditional teriyaki type marinade. The only thing I would change is to reduce the brown sugar by 1 -1 1/2 tablespoons. Otherwise perfect as is.
Destiny Espinoza
This was great! I used a pork tenderloin and then boiled the marinade for a sauce. Will definitely be doing this again!
Cheryl Allen
Everyone loved it! Great marinade!
Ana Myers
This was a great tasting marinade, will definitely make it again. I used a grainy Dijon mustard. Nice change from BBQ or teriyaki.
Kerry Mendoza
Really easy and the pork chops were really good
Elizabeth Shelton
This is the best pork chop marinade recipe I have ever tried! I’ve used it 3 or more times and my grilled pork chops always turn out delicious. I cannot curb my enthusiasm about this marinade. Everyone should try it!
Wayne Petersen
It is the best with pork…
Michael Walker
I found it a bit too sweet, I also omitted the pepper because of an allergy. The marinade did make the chops moist after cooking.
Erica Rowland

John Watkins

William Roman
Didn’t care for the brown sugar. But otherwise it was pretty tasty!
Alan Webster
Made it. Somehow forgot the mustard. Still worked. Well done
Andrew Cook
I have had a difficult time finding a marinade or rub that makes pork taste good but this is fantastic!! I LOVED my chops! I can’t wait to use it again. It has the right amount of flavor without being too sweet or too salty. Very good!
