Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a 9x13 inch baking dish and lay the pork chops out in a single layer. Sprinkle a tablespoon of brown sugar over each chop, then top that with a tablespoon of margarine. Drizzle some soy sauce over everything to add a nice savory touch. Cover the dish tightly with foil and pop it in the oven for about 45 minutes. After that, take off the foil and let the chops bake for another 15 minutes so they get nicely browned on top. Once they look caramelized and delicious, they’re ready to serve!
Why you’ll love it
This dish offers a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors that enhance the natural richness of pork chops. The brown sugar adds a caramelized glaze that makes each bite deliciously tender and flavorful. It’s an easy way to elevate a simple meal into something special.
How to serve
Pair with roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad to add some brightness to the plate. Mashed potatoes or rice work well to soak up the flavorful glaze. A side of steamed broccoli or sautéed green beans also complements the sweetness nicely.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to avoid drying out the meat. For longer storage, freeze cooked pork chops wrapped tightly to preserve moisture and flavor.
