My nana made these chops the best! Still my hubby’s fave!

Brown Sugar Pork Chops are one of those delightful dishes that perfectly blend sweet and savory flavors. Growing up in the Midwest, pork chops were a staple at our family dinners, and this version has become a favorite in my household. The brown sugar caramelizes beautifully, creating a delicious glaze that pairs wonderfully with the juicy pork. It’s a quick and easy recipe that feels like a special treat, perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual get-together.

These Brown Sugar Pork Chops go wonderfully with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or roasted sweet potatoes to complement the sweetness of the glaze. A crisp green salad or steamed green beans add a fresh touch to the meal. If you’re feeling a bit more indulgent, a side of buttery corn on the cob would also be a fantastic addition.
