"Spanish" Pork Chops

This recipe is from my husband's fraternal grandmother. I can't vouch for it's spanish-ness but my husband likes it. It was either a depression era recipe or a WWII rationing friendly recipe that Grandma Nett's mom made for her when she was younger.

• Ready In: 1 hr 5 mins
• Serves: 4
• Yields: 4 porkchops

Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon olive oil
• 4  pork chops
• 1⁄4 cup ketchup

Directions

1. Mix the Ketchup, Mustard Powder and Pepper together.
2. In a frying pan, heat the olive oil and when hot, begin to brown the pork.
3. While browning add the ketchup mixture on the porkchops.
4. Once browned, add vinegar, water and sugar and stir it up in the pan until mixed.
