OVEN BAKED 3-INGREDIENT PORK CHOPS WITH PINEAPPLE

This easy, budget-friendly dinner transforms just three simple ingredients into a tender, flavorful meal. The pineapple caramelizes as it bakes, creating a sweet and savory sauce that pairs perfectly with juicy pork chops.

Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork chops, about 3/4-inch thick
• 1 (20 oz) can pineapple rings in juice, drained
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. Pat the pork chops dry and arrange them in a single layer in the prepared dish.

3. Drain the pineapple juice into a bowl and set the pineapple rings aside.

4. Stir the brown sugar into the pineapple juice until mostly dissolved.

5. Pour the pineapple juice mixture evenly over the pork chops.

6. Place one pineapple ring on top of each pork chop. Arrange any extra rings around the chops.

7. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes.

8. Remove the foil, spoon some of the sauce over the pork chops, and continue baking uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

9. For extra caramelization, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end of cooking.

10. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon the pineapple sauce over each pork chop and serve warm.

Tips

• Pat the pork chops dry before baking for better browning.
• Use pineapple packed in juice, not syrup, for the best flavor balance.
• Add sliced onions or carrots to stretch the meal and soak up the sauce.
• Let the pork rest before serving to keep it tender and juicy.
• Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or buttered noodles to enjoy every drop of the sauce.
