BBQ Pork Chops

I've been on the lookout for yummy pork chop recipes that are a little different than our usual. Pork keeps going on sale for like $1.40/lb, which is pretty killer and so I've been trying to rotate it through our meal plans fairly frequently. I'm so glad that I stumbled across this recipe. The sauce by itself was pretty tart, but when it was thinly covering the pork chop it added the perfect amount of flavor. I was very impressed! Plus, the addition of the carrots and onions on top were delicious. I paired this with some yummy garlic mashed potatoes. Add a side salad and maybe a piece of fruit and this is a perfect Sunday Dinner.
