Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 28 ounces Canned baked beans
- 1 medium Diced onion
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Molasses
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel, then season both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, yellow mustard, and olive oil to create the marinade for the pork chops.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the canned baked beans, ketchup, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, and ground cayenne pepper to the skillet with the onions. Stir well to combine.
Nestle the seared pork chops back into the skillet on top of the baked beans mixture.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the pork chops with a generous scoop of the baked bean mixture on the side. Enjoy!
