Honey Glazed Pork Chops:

This meal was insanely simplistic and very affordable.

Ingredients:

-4 pork loin chops

-salt/pepper to taste

-2 tbsp packed brown sugar (dark)

-2 tbsp honey

-Nonstick cooking spray

Directions: Add salt and pepper to both sides of each pork chop. In a large skillet over medium heat cook the chops until brown, flipping once. While you are cooking the chops on the stove preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Also combine the honey and brown sugar in a small bowl. 

Once the pork chops are golden brown (seen on right) place them in a baking pan. Heat the honey mixture in the microwave on HIGH for 20 seconds. Use half of the honey mixture to coat one side of each pork chop. I stabbed holes in each chop with a fork so the honey mixture could better soak into the meat. 

Place in the oven for 15 minutes. Flip the pork chop over and glaze with the remainder of the honey mixture. Cook for another 15 to 20 minutes. 

This was delicious and the honey gave the perfect hint of sweetness without overpowering the flavor of the pork chop. I enjoy how easy this recipe was to shop for and complete. 

Since the ingredients are minimal this recipe is not hard to change up for different serving sizes. I only cooked two pork chops since I was eating alone. However, you could make this for a large family. I think children would also really like this dish because it has very basic flavors. 

The only note I would add to this meal is that the honey and brown sugar glaze was an adequate amount for 2 pork chops; if I were to cook 4 chops as the recipe suggested, I would double the quantity of honey and brown sugar used.
