Connies Perfect Pork Chops Recipes

CLEVER CONNIE'S SWEET & SOUR PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Set the oven at 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Trim excess fat off the pork chops.
• Add oil to frying pan and heat on high.
• Add garlic and swirl around for 30 seconds- don't let it brown or burn.
• Lower heat under frying pan. Brown the chops on both sides.
• Remove chops and place in an ovenproof baking dish in a single layer.
• Scrape the garlic and "brown bits" from the frying pan onto the top of the chops.
• Mix remaining ingredients together well and pour over the chops.
• Place chops into the oven.
• Lower heat to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Leave chops in the oven for 2 hours or more.
• When the chops come from the oven - the longer the better - the meat will fall from the bones and the fat is easily removed.
• Shred the pork and return it to the "sauce".
• Leave the meat in the oven until you are ready-to-serve.
• Serve over rice.

PERFECT GRILLED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Heat an outdoor grill to high heat, about 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Prepare your chops by rubbing both sides with olive oil.
• In a small bowl, stir together paprika, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the mixture on each side of the pork chops and rub it in.
• Grill the chop by searing each side for 2 minutes over the high heat. Remove the chops to an upper rack or to a spot with indirect heat to finish cooking.
• Reduce the burners to medium, close the lid, and cook for about another 15 minutes more. Actual cooking time will depend on the heat of your grill and the thickness of your pork chop. Pork needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Let rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

JULIE'S PERFECT PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix flour, seasoned salt, and pepper thoroughly in a wide bowl.
• Dredge each side of the pork chops in the flour mixture. Set aside on a plate.
• Pour oil into a frying pan over medium-high heat. Drop a pinch of flour in the oil; it will sizzle if the oil is ready. Add 2 pork chops and cook until golden brown on the outside and no longer pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining chops.
