Taste Tested Tuesday: BBQ Pineapple Pork Chops
Posted by AndreaThe other day I had a taste for pork chops, so I ditched my planned menu and made pork chops instead. I had accidentally purchased a can of crushed pineapples instead of the chunk pineapples we usually eat and I didn’t want them to go to waste. I combined the pineapples with a few of my other favorite pantry ingredients and created a tasty sauce perfect for pork chops.
I always season and brown the meat in a pan before I toss it into the Crock Pot. I think the searing locks in the seasonings and makes the meat more flavorful. However, you can skip this step if you wish and just place the chops in the Crock Pot as is.
Barbecue Pineapple Pork Chops
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce (you could use soy sauce instead)
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup white wine
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 red pepper, sliced thin
1 onion, sliced thin
4 to 6 pork chops
In a medium sized bowl, combine brown sugar, teriyaki/soy sauce, barbecue sauce, wine, crushed pineapples, ginger, and minced garlic. Place pork chops in the Crock Pot and cover with the sauce. Cook on low for 4 hours. Add the peppers and onion to the Crock Pot in the last half hour of cooking.
