Edith’s Barbecue Pork Chops

Mom found this recipe in a magazine when I was a teenager. It was a big hit with pork chops and just as big a hit with chicken.

For a number of years we made it regularly, then stopped making it. I made it a few times as an adult, but it didn’t quite have the same “magic” that it did when I was a teenager.

Edith’s Barbecue Pork Chops

• 8 pork chops
• 1 cup ketchup or tomato sauce
• 1 Tbsp minced onion
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 Tbsp vinegar
• 4 to 6 drops Tabasco sauce
• 2 cups water
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Preheat over to 350 F. Line meat in a casserole dish in one layer. Mix remaining ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour over meat and bake for 1 hour.

Variation: Use chicken instead of pork.
