I love ketchup! It is one of my favorite condiments. I have only met a hand full of people that do not like ketchup, but I just think okay there is something wrong with them. Joking!!!! That is only when people tell me they do not like mayo! Anyways I am a condiment type of gal! So tonight I am looking for a new recipe. Surprise, surprise, I am
always looking for new recipes! I had pork chops laid out for dinner, and I was thinking to myself. " Well we can fry them, I can bake them, or I can make a pork chop casserole." None of which sounded good, because you can only eat something the same way so many times before it just does not sound appetizing. So I pull out my trusty cook book, and do not forget Google. I would be lost without Google, literally!! While I was looking I found a recipe that was simply called Ketchup Pork Chops. I was thinking what and the world could this be. Next line said you only need three ingredients to make this recipe. So I keep reading, because of course the name has my attention. I was thinking what idiot posted a recipe about smothering pork chops with ketchup. I mean I have done it before when I eat my friends cooking, but I have never in my life seen someone post it as a recipe. So I am reading, and I am completely shocked. The three ingredients are Ketchup, Pork chops, and Dr. Pepper. I am like no way could that be good. I like all three of the ingredients, but together I was not so sure. So I read on about how this man had made these pork chops for his wife, and now she just did not want him to cook pork chops any other way. So I thought what do I have to lose. If I bake these chops my family is libel to throw them at me and demand a recook. So I set out to make ketchup pork chops. I mean I had made Root Beer BBQ a couple of weeks ago, and it was awesome so why not give Dr. Pepper a chance to. It was a very simple recipe. Here it is:
Ketchup Pork Chops
Pork Chops 4 med to large chops
Ketchup 1 1/4 cup
Dr. Pepper 1 cup
Hot Sauce 3 splashes
Salt and Pepper
1. Preheat your over to 350 degrees
2. In a skillet that has been oiled. Brown both sides
of your pork chops. Make sure you salt and pepper
them before you brown them.
3. In a separate bowl mix you ketchup, Dr. Pepper and
Hot Sauce.
. 4. Place your pork chops in your pan, and then pour your
mixture over the top of them.
5. Let them cook for about an hour.
6. Take them out and pour most of the liquid back into
you bowl. Some of the more solid will stay on your
chops.
7. Separate your pork chops out. Then take a spoon and
spoon the most solid of the liquid back onto the top
of the chops.
8. Put them back in the oven for about 20 minutes. Then
take them out let them set for a few minutes to cool
and serve.
These are great served with mash potatoes or rice.
I have come to learn over the last view weeks that we cannot judge a recipe by the ingredients. We could be missing some really good food just by judging it before we try it. These pork chops actually turned out really good. Everyone in my house loved them including the next door neighbors kids. Keep an open mind when looking for new things.
