Chili Barbecue Chops

Submitted by ErikaNY

"I had this recipe in my 'to try' binder - when I went looking through Zaar to see if it already existed, I saw something similar... but not quite. So decided to post my version. My husband and I had it for dinner tonight and it was delicious! It was wonderful paired with mashed potatoes since the chops made a rich "gravy" of sorts that was good on top of them. The combo sounds a little on the odd side (the marinade), but they go very well together in the end! Enjoy! (preparation time includes 4 hours marinading time)"

 

• Ready In: 4hrs 45mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 boneless pork chops (3/4-inch thick)
• 1⁄2 cup Italian dressing

directions

1. In a bowl, combine the salad dressing, barbecue sauce and chili powder; mix well.
2. Pour 1/2 cup of the marinade into a large resealable sandwich or storage bag; add the pork chops.
3. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at LEAST 1 hour (but 3-4 hours preferred). Cover and refrigerate leftover marinade.
4. When done marinating, drain and discard the marinade from the pork.
5. In a large non-stick skillet, coated with non-stick cooking spray, brown chops on both sides over medium heat; drain if needed.
6. Add reserved marinade to the pan and bring to a boil.
7. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 40 minutes.
8. Eat and enjoy!

I really thought I would enjoy this recipe because I really liked all of the ingredients. But I just didnt care for the taste of it. I'm not sure if it was the italian dressing or the chili powder that ruined the taste for me, but I followed the directions exactly, including the instructions for the extra sauce. One thing I did really like about this recipe was how the sauce got so thick. Thanks for posting this recipe!

Excellent pork chops! I made these for dinner yeasterday and everyone loved the flavor. I marinated them all day in the fridge and then grilled them. They were very tender. I did not use the extra marinade and really didn't think we missed anything by not having it. Otherwise, I made as posted. Thanks for posting a keeper!
