This would be super served with the Macaroni and Cheese recipe.
Ingredients
4 thick-cut pork chops, all fat removed
olive oil
salt
pepper
onion powder
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
2 cups water
your favorite BBQ sauce
Preheat oven to 350.
Rinse pork chops and pat dry. Place pork chops in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic. Using your hands, massage the oil and spices into the pork chops so that they are covered evenly.
Place pork chops on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour water into bottom of pan. Drop the bay leaf into the water. Bake for 2 hours or until tender and internal temperature is 160.
Remove the pork chops to an 8x8 baking dish sprayed with spray cooking oil. Pour BBQ sauce over pork chops until well coated. Cover with foil (to avoid splashing). Return to oven and bake for another 30 minutes, or until sauce is heated.
***This would also work for country ribs.
