Pork Loin Chops With Simple Savory Sauce

Submitted by Vseward Chef-V

"I threw this together in less than 30 minutes. The outcome was raves all around the table. Always trying to come up with ways to cook chicken or pork, I finally made a sauce that my family said was "off the hook". This dish was so easy to make and was well received with my Recipe #223199."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 13
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 6 boneless sirloin pork chops (1/2 in thick)
• 16 ounces jellied cranberry sauce
• 1 (12 ounce) bottle chili sauce
• 3⁄4 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1⁄2 teaspoon new mexico chile powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon onion salt
• 1⁄3 cup flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

directions

1. In a 4 cup measuring cup, I combined the cranberry sauce, chili sauce, brown sugar, chili powder, garlic and onion salt with the cumin and cayenne. Mix well to incorporate the sugar.
2. In a large reseable bag, combine flour, salt and pepper. Add pork chops one at a time and shake to coat. Set on plate until all have been coated and can be cooked together.
3. In a large skillet cook pork in olive oil over medium high heat 4-5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.
4. Pour sauce mixture over the pork and cover once it comes to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer 10 minutes.
5. Served with Rice Pilaf and a crisp green salad. YUM!
6. Hope you enjoy!

I give this 5 stars because of the taste... it's really good. My 9 year old son says if there were 10 stars he'd give that. As a personal preference, I enjoy my pork chops slow cooked for a long time so they are more tender than this recipe allows, so I'll probably do it in a crock pot next time. The taste, though, was really good and my son "demands" I put 5 stars. ;)

I made this in the crock pot on Hi and cooked it for 4 hours. I thought that it was a little sweet so the next time I will cut back on the brown sugar. Since I cooked it in the crock pot, I didn't do step 2.

Delicious ! I made the recipe as directed using 2 boneless very thick chops. DH adored the sauce. He was still talking about it the next day..

Five stars from me and the family. I made it exactly per the recipe except that I only had a 14oz can of jellied cranberry (do they make a 16oz can?), and I added a sprinkle more of chili powder and cumin. It was a little too ketchupy for me (maybe since the ratio of cranberry to chili sauce was off?), so I'd use less chili sauce if I made it again. I also had 7 pork chops, but except for crowding the pan, that didn't matter because there still was a ton of sauce - I think I might leave the cover off next time too so the sauce thickens up. With the cover on and the required time of 10 minutes, it wasn't that thick, and if I had cooked it anymore, I would have run the risk of overcooking the pork. I make these comment only to make it 5 stars as it was very, very good as is. I will definitely be making again.

Yummy. I had some cranberry sauce left over from Easter so I searched & found this recipe. What I really liked about this one is the addition of the savory spices. Next time I will cut the brown sugar abit. I increased the pork chops & cut the sauce in 1/2 & found it to be plenty for our liking. Great recipe, thanks for sharing.
