Reviews
I used apple cider vinegar, added brown sugar, and chopped onion. I omitted nutmeg and cooked them to 145 degrees. Yummy.
Chops were nice and tender. The sauce was pretty good. I made it with rice wine vinegar and added some crushed red pepper flakes.
loved it after the changes I made. I marinated them for one hour in sauce. instead of ketchup I used honey bbq sauce and I used no salt, celery seed, or bay leaf. instead of nutmeg I used truffle powder, instead of the vinegar I used lemon juice. and of course I used water and onions. I didn’t really measure anything just added to taste. and I used the same cooking time and temperature.
As this recipe is written, I think it would have been very bland, but I made some changes as suggested by other reviews. I added the onion and garlic, and I used bottled bbq sauce instead of ketchup. I did them in the slow cooker, so they were nice and moist. The whole family enjoyed them!
This is the same recipe that my Mother used to make. I prepared it for several who had never had it and they raved about it. It shouldn’t be dry unless you let the sauce thicken too much. Add more water every now and then if this happens while cooking. Also I use a round roasting pan with a lid. It is better if you leave the lid on for an hour then off for the last thirty minutes. I doubled the recipe and it was wonderful!!
I loved this recipe. Marinate overnight, even better! I used less vinegar about 1/4 cup and crushed the bay leaf.
I made it exactly the way the recipie called for. First, of all the sauce is practically water with a very weird flavour combination. I had to keep adding bottled BBQ sauce to thicken, a waste of time and money.
I thought this was pretty good. My hubby and I both agreed on a 4 star rating. I did make some small modifications. I used 1/2 C. aplle cider vinegar and the rest as white vinegar. I also added in a few ybsp. of bottled bbq at the advice of the other readers. I added some gar;ic and onion powder and a tbsp. of splenda to sweeten it up. I baked the chops in the oven for 30 minutes and pulled them out and thickened the sauce with some flour because the sauce was pretty runny. I used really thin chops, so they were a little more dry than I would have liked. All in all, I will make this again. Thanks for sharing 😀
It was a good recipe, not one I would cook to impress though.
Love it…family loves it…easy to make…made double the sauce…great with rice!
These were good. I did not brown and only cooked for 30-45 minutes. I added fresh garlic and onions and thickened the sauce. Nxt time I will try these in the crockpot.
This is DELICIOUS! My picky, meat-hating kids gobbled it up and asked for seconds! Definitely a keeper!
Too dry and not spicey enough for my family’s taste. Won’t make it again. It would have helped to read the reviews first and then made some adjustments. I was in a hurry and picked the recipe by the number of stars.
The chops turned out very dry. I took the advice of other reviewers and let it cook for only 60 min. will not make these again. My kids did not eat these, they took one bite and I had to make them something else to eat. The only reason I gave this three stars is because my husband liked this.
My family loves the pork chops fixed this way. My 12-year old doesn’t want me to fix them another way.
My husband loves this recipe. I think he enjoyed it most when I let it marinade over night. It is easy too.
i found this recipe to be ok in flavour, not the greatest though. my parents really liked it though. I did add some garlic to the sauce and some bbq sauce too like others said. might make again don’t know may change and use my homemade bbq sauce
I thought this recipe was great
This smelled delicious when it was baking, but when we ate it, the meat didn’t really absorb the flavor. I will try it again but marinade it first.
This was a pretty good recipe. I don’t think the chops turned out tasting very “barbecued”, but they did have a nice flavor to them. I’ll keep this recipe for future use, because it is a fairly easy one and different than your standard “shake and bake” forms of cooking chops.
This recipe was very good and easy. I took many readers advise and added onion and garlic to this recipe. I only cooked the chops for 60 minutes basting and turning frequently.
