Drunken Pork Chops



Drunken pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a casual meal. They are made with pork chops, onions, and a simple sauce made with beer, brown sugar, and spices. The pork chops are then cooked in the oven until they are cooked through and the sauce is thickened.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless pork chops

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 1/2 cup beer

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. In a large skillet, brown the pork chops over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.

  3. Add the onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

  4. Stir in the beer, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

  5. Place the pork chops in a baking dish and pour the sauce over them.

  6. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.

  7. Serve immediately.

Tips

  • For a spicier pork chop, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper.

  • For a sweeter pork chop, add more brown sugar.

  • You can also add other ingredients to the pork chops, such as chopped bacon, cheese, or pineapple.
