My nana made these chops the best! Still my hubby’s fave!

Brown Sugar Pork Chops are a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors. Growing up in the Midwest, pork chops were a family dinner staple, and this recipe has become a household favorite. The brown sugar caramelizes into a delicious glaze that pairs perfectly with the juicy pork. It’s a quick, easy recipe that feels special, perfect for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings.

These Brown Sugar Pork Chops are great with creamy mashed potatoes or roasted sweet potatoes to complement the glaze’s sweetness. A crisp green salad or steamed green beans add freshness to the meal. For a more indulgent side, buttery corn on the cob is a fantastic addition.

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

3. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, garlic powder, and paprika.
4. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

6. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the pork chops.

8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
