All this week I'll feature some of the dishes I prepared during our stay with G&J. For the dinner I prepared, I used some thick cut pork chops and leftover BBQ sauce from their pantry. I supplemented some of the BBQ sauce with a little homemade version but you could use any BBQ -store bought or homemade - for this recipe. As for the corn relish, I used some leftover sweet corn on the cob they had in the freezer. The corn relish made for a nice pop of color, texture and is great as a garnish or side dish.

1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon ground mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice

BBQ Pork Chops

2 tablespoons canola oil
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup BBQ sauce, prepared above
Preheat oven to 350.
Season pork chops with salt and pepper to your tastes.
In a large cast iron skillet oven high heat, add oil. When hot, add pork chops and sear on both sides for 5-7 minutes to form a nice crust.
Baste pork chops with some of the bbq sauce on both sides, just enough to cover. Transfer skillet with pork chops into preheated oven. Bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes or until juices run clear.
Baste pork chops again with some of the bbq sauce and serve with more sauce on the side.
