One thing I have found is if you can make a dish somewhat sweet you can get my kids to eat things they normally don't, like Pork Chops! That is why I am these brown sugar glazed garlic pork chops. Not only that it is easy and fast to cook!
Brown Sugar Glazed Garlic Pork Chops
Ok funny story. Hubby tried to make this one night when I was pregnant and not feeling well. He calls from the kitchen “Hey I think we are out of paprika”. Knowing I just bought some I call back “no it's the red stuff” he says he found it and keeps cooking. come dinner time we served the kids first and my son took a bite and started crying and it was hot and he didn't want it anymore and refused to eat. we didn't understand until I went to take a bite. He had ended up using cayenne pepper instead of paprika because it was red…. Needless to say we ended up eating box mac and cheese that night. Moral of the story, read the labels!
Ok on to the recipe you will love it!
- 4-5 boneless, pork chops
- ¼ cup homemade brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper with a little bit of olive oil.
Rub your sugar/spice mix on both sides of each pork chop, using all of the spice mix.
Heat the rest of the olive oil in a skillet over medium/high heat.
After the oil is hot, cook the pork chops for about 5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Enjoy!
We loved these with my 7up biscuits and bacon green beans!

These pork chops were delicious! I used the rub on both sides of the chops, browned both sides of the chops in a cast iron skillet for 1-2 minutes, then baked them in oven for 20 minutes. They were done to perfection. Thanks for the recipe. Definitely a keeper.
What temperature did you bake them at?
These were cooked stove top over medium heat
I would do 325 F.
Delicious!
I made this and it was a hit. I seasoned the meat with garlic salt and pepper before rubbing with mixture. Then seared for 1-2 min in hot skillet and baked at 400 for 35 min or so. Made with sweet potatoes with brown sugar and cinnamon that were roasted in oven. My boys loved it!
Trying this tonight. Do you think it would be ok to grill instead of pan fry?
Yes it should please let me know how it turns out!
It was AMAZING! Will DEFINITELY be making this again! I’m not even a pork chop lover either!
This looks delicious and so easy! I love that I have all the ingredients in the house already. Will be trying them this weekend. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Could this also be made in a Wok?
I would assume so, I’ve never tried it! If you make please let me know how it turns out!
Awesome rub. My kids loved this! Will make again.
I made this for dinner last week and there weren’t any leftovers! Can’t wait to make this again!
Does it have to be olive oil?
No I use what I have on hand, but i do prefer olive oil. It’s a personal choice 🙂
I only had 2 pork chops, so I halved the sugar. Left everything else the same. Cooked over med high head exactly as directed in recipe. It was perfect!
Can I use bone in pork chops
Yes, cooking times differ. It’s a personal preference.
Can you prepare these the night before to let them marinade??
YES! It bring the taste out so much better!
I am curious about the side dish with the pork chops . Is there a recipe for them please ?
I made these and my family really liked them! Usually I get no comments on what I cook but this time, there was an enthusiastic “make them this way again next time.” thanks!
