4 pork chops (I used thick-cut boneless chops here, but you can use any variety — see the cooking chart for specific baking times)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
¼ cup yellow mustard
¼ cup ketchup

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions
list of 4 items
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Pat pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chops and brown on both sides (about 3-5 minutes per side). Transfer the chops to a baking dish
or, if using an ovenproof skillet, drain the fat off the skillet.
3. While the pork chops are browning, prepare the barbecue sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients. Pour over the pork.
4. Bake, uncovered, for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.

Recipe Notes
Here’s a quick chart that should serve as a helpful general guide when baking your seared pork chops at 350 degrees F (just remember, these are merely
estimates and the meat thermometer is always your safest bet):
list of 4 items
• Bone-in Thick Pork Chops: 25-30 minutes
• Bone-in Thin Pork Chops: 15-20 minutes
• Boneless Thick Pork Chops: 20-25 minutes
• Boneless Thin Pork Chops: 10-15 minutes
list end
If you skip the stovetop browning step and just bake your pork chops right away, you will need to add about 5-8 minutes of cooking time in the oven.
Write list…
• I like to brown the pork chops on the stovetop before baking them. This step is NOT necessary, so you can certainly skip it if you’re in a rush. That
said, it only requires a few extra minutes (during which I also have a chance to whisk together my sauce). The browning adds color and flavor to the meat,
and it also seals in the juices for a more tender and juicy baked pork chop. If you choose not to sear the chops, you’ll need to add a few minutes to the
baking time.
• Dutch Oven BBQ Pork Chops: prepare these pork chops in a Dutch oven (or other oven-proof skillet) and you’ll have one less dish to wash at the end.
• Use any pork chops that you prefer: thick-cut, thin, boneless or bone-in. See the chart above for suggesting cooking times based on the chops that you’re
using.
• Running short on time? Instead of making your own barbecue sauce, use a bottle of your favorite store-bought barbecue sauce to baste the pork chops before
they go in the oven. You’ll want a pretty thick bbq sauce (like
Sweet Baby Ray’s)
so that it doesn’t get watery and runny in the oven.
• Scale this recipe to feed a crowd! Prepare an extra batch of sauce for each large pan of chicken.
• Cooking just for two? Cut the sauce ingredients in half and just bake two pork chops.
