What did I learn making sweet and spicy pork chops?

First, don’t put a pan with caramelized brown sugar in oil (even cooled) under a stream of water….it immediately undergoes a chemical reactions and turns black and hard as stone. Apparently it took me 32 years (well, I only spent a couple of them actually cooking) to learn that. Oh, and what does my husband do? Stand there laughing. Grrrr…..

Second, I actually can stand pork chops under certain circumstances. My husband calls them Cajun Pork Chops…but they really don’t have all the spices of a normal Cajun dish, hence my name.

Third, I have a new easy recipe! And husband loves it. This literally takes 20 minutes tops to make…and 5 to 10 of it is them sitting in the oven. This is now my to-go easy-make recipe. And I don’t even feel guilty because they’re so good.

I had to adjust the spices a little (and the cooking instructions…do not cook this on medium-high), but I’m going to link to her because it is a great combination of spices; one I wouldn’t have thought of. So, please go check out “Budget Bytes”  original recipe if you want a slightly different version.

Cook approx. 3 minutes per side, until nicely browned, swirling pan/moving pork chops constantly. Add oil as needed to prevent burning.
