Cook these pineapple pork chops in the slow cooker, on the grill, or broil them. Serve the pork chops with rice or baked potatoes for a tasty everyday dinner.
The pork is marinated with the pineapple overnight and then the pork is cooked with the pineapple marinade mixture.
Ingredients
- 6 pork chops
- 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks with juice
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- Optional Garnish: Fresh or canned pineapple chunks
- Optional Garnish: Fresh chopped cilantro
Steps to Make It
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
Put pork chops in a plastic zip-close food storage bag.
-
Combine the remaining ingredients; pour over the pork chops in the bag.
-
Seal the bag and refrigerate overnight.
-
Drain the liquids into a saucepan. Place the saucepan over high heat and bring to a full boil.
-
Put the chops in the slow cooker; pour the hot liquids over them and cook for 5 to 7 hours, or until the chops are done. The minimum safe temperature for pork—USDA guidelines—is 145 F.
-
The marinated pork chops are also great grilled or broiled. Bring the pineapple marinade to a full boil and use it to baste the chops.
-
Serve pork chops with some fresh pineapple chunks and a garnish of chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
-
Enjoy!
Glass Bakeware Warning
Do not use glass bakeware when broiling or when a recipe calls to add liquid to a hot pan, as glass may explode. Even if it states oven-safe or heat resistant, tempered glass products can, and do, break occasionally.
