Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 6 pork chops
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • ¾ cup ketchup
  • ¾ cup bread and butter pickle juice

Instructions

  • Heat 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil in large skillet or electric skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Dredge 6 pork chops in ¼ cup all purpose flour seasoned with a little bit of salt and pepper.
  • Brown on both sides, working in batches if needed. Drain any excess grease.
  • Stir together ¾ cup ketchup and ¾ cup bread and butter pickle juice. Pour over pork chops in pan.
  • Cover and simmer on low for about 20 minutes or until pork chops are done to your liking.

Notes

  • Any sweet pickle juice will work for the sauce.
  • Pork chops are done at 145℉. You can stop cooking them when they reach that temperature. However, because of the sauce, these will stay tender if cooked to a higher temp. Just keep cooking them low and slow until they get to your desired doneness.
