Pork chops never had
it so good ~ and it’s because of the relatively dulcet-zingy flavor of the honey-mustard
marinade!
 |
| This may qualify as the worst food pic ever---we were hungry!
This recipe is from our
local newspaper, The Northwest Herald, and is one I plan on repeating
many times. The chops marinated in the
refrigerator for 5 hours before being baked.
The recipe actually calls for broiling them, but I placed them on a
baking sheet and baked them for about 20 minutes. They turned out juicy and tender. The next time, they will be cooked on the
grill. Bet that would be even better!

I was afraid the
recipe was not making enough marinade, but it was plenty. The sauce was really delicious and the pork
chops turned out tender and succulent. The
only problem is that I didn’t take a “pretty picture” of them, as you can
see. We could hardly wait to sink our
teeth into them…

Honey-Mustard Pork
Chops
Ingredients:
¼ cup Dijon mustard
4 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon cider or white wine vinegar
¼ teaspoon black pepper (I used ½ teaspoon seasoned pepper)
4 (5-ounce) loin pork chops
Method:
For marinade:
Stir together all ingredients except pork in a small bowl.
Transfer marinade to a large zip-close plastic bag and add
pork.
Squeeze out air and seal bag; turn to coat meat.
Refrigerate, turning bag occasionally, at least 4 hours or
up to overnight.
When ready to cook, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Coat baking sheet with cooking spray.
Remove chops from bag and discard marinade.
Place chops on baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for
about 20 minutes, or until pork is cooked to your desired doneness.
Serve
It’s hard to beat the tangy-sweet flavor of honey-mustard, especially
with pork!

So funny I was just asking my co-workers at lunch ideas for supper...I'm all out of ideas right now. One teacher asked "when was the last time you had pork chops?" He said to do them on the grill...hmmm...that sounded good, I usually just make pork roast or pulled pork. Then I was thinking what sould I season them with? Bingo!! Good pork chops and a good recamondation! Thanks.
Great suggestion to marinate the pork chops must be tasty good.

I love pork with honey and mustard, this recipe sounds fantastic despite the photo :)) Diane
I can only imagine how deliciously it smells when you bake them! We love pork chops :)
My husband and I were talking about a Honey Mustard Marinade just last night! We plan to grill chicken again this week and I asked him what kind of marinade he wanted me to use and he said, "How about a Honey Mustard Marinade". I can't wait to show him your post! LOL
Pork chops...My favorite meat dish!
One thing that I love about this time of year, is being able to cook on the grill...and what better thing to cook than Pork Chops..Glad to have this new recipe...

Pam... Nice recipe! I'm usually not into 'sweet' such as honey with meat...even with pork. This honey mustard marinade sounds like it's a nice blend. Thanks! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
These chops sound scrumptious and the marinade is fab! I will definitely be grilling up some of these babies. Thanks for the great recipe and for stopping by!
The marinade sounds delicious! The pork chops would be wonderful on the grill too.
Dave, it's really not sweet, the honey just adds to the flavor.
Marguerite, thanks! Grilling and some Cajun music and dancin' too?
ST, thank you! You're right---I have to try them all the grill next time!
I'm a fan of mustard based sauces, especially with pork. I bet this would rock on my grill.
