Chili Barbecue Chops

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: 4 hrs 45 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4  boneless pork chops (3/4-inch thick)
• 1⁄2 cup  Italian dressing
• 1⁄2 cup barbecue sauce (I used Hunts BBQ Original)
• 2  teaspoons chili powder

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!
