Basil Pork Chops

Okay, this one is our very most favorite pork chop recipe. I use the loin center cut but not sure that matters. I also double the recipe for my family.

1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp chili powder
2 TBSP oil (I use olive) -- divided (1 TBSP for cooking, 1 TBSP for the rub)
4 pork chops 1/2 inch thickness (if yours are thinner you can cut the time down?)

Mix ingredients together to form a rub. Put on both sides of pork chops. Fry in remaining oil for 7-8 minutes per side. YUM! We have made this for guests a few times and everyone loves them.

One of our old neighbors use to make this...
1 1/4 cup water
1 package of onion soup mix
pork chops

Place pork chops in baking dish and cover with water/soup mixture. Bake at 325 for about one hour.
This was tasty and my kids love it but the sodium is too high for me so we don't make this one very often.

Help wanted...

does anyone have any good pork chop recipes?
