Drunken Pork Chops

Serves 4

4 boneless pork loin chops
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 onion, sliced
1 bottle of dark beer (I used Sam Adams)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup ketchup
1 T cornstarch
1/4 water
2 teaspoons Olive oil

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chops with salt and pepper and add to skillet, browning both sides.

2. While pork chops are browning, combine beer, ketchup, and brown sugar in a bowl. Pour sauce mixture and sliced onion over the pork chops and simmer for 40-45 minutes.

3. 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.

Served with mashed potatoes and sugar snap peas.

Results: this recipe wasn't bad, but it wasn't that great either. It took a long time to cook, but it didn't require any attention. I doubt that I'll make it again.
