I am not a beer drinker at all, I prefer a mixed drink or a nice glass of wine. E on the other hand does like beer and so much that he has now started brewing his own beer at home. I got him a beer kit for Christmas and he has made a few batches now (we have a 4th batch going now). That being said, when I saw this recipe that uses beer I thought that it might end up being a hit at our house.
Drunken Pork Chops
Adapted from: www.siggyspice.blogspot.com
5-6 pork chops- bone-in or boneless
Salt and pepper to taste
1 bottle of beer (I used Fat Tire)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup ketchup
Put a little bit of extra virgin olive oil in the bottom of a skillet. Season the chops with salt and pepper and brown both sides. While pork chops are browning, combine beer, ketchup, and brown sugar in a bowl. Pour sauce mixture over the pork chops and simmer for 40-45 minutes.
Remove pork chops and thicken the sauce a bit. In a small cup, combine 1 TBSP of cornstarch in 1/4 of water. Stir to combine and add to boiling sauce, whisk so no lumps form. Put pork chops back in the thickened sauce, flip to coat.
Serve over mashed potatoes or rice.
fun recipe! I hope you are loving Michigan!
