Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 to 2 1/2 pounds pork loin chops (8 regular-cut or thicker cut chope, thicker will take a longer cooking time)
  • Garlic salt and ground pepper (use as much as you want, or garlic powder and white salt)
  • Ground pepper (as much as you want)
  • SAUCE
  • 1 can (398 mL) crushed pineapple (drained)
  • 2 cups tomato sauce (use Hunt's for best flavor, do not sub crushed tomatoes, the flavor is not as good!)
  • 1 cup beef broth (or can use 1 cup hot water mixed with 1 tablespoon beef bouillon powder)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (can use bottled lemon juice, I use two whole lemons squeezed to make 1/4 cup)
  • 1/2 cup ketchup (can use a little more)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (or to taste, if you have a sweet tooth you may want to increase)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon Worchestershire sauce
  • Cayenne pepper (optional and to taste, or crushed chili flakes)
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Grease a roaster (that has a lid) I just use a small roaster.

  • Step 2: In a bowl combine all the sauce ingredients together until well combined, start with 1/2 cup brown sugar if you prefer a sweeter taste you can always add in more during cooking.

  • Step 3: Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet.

  • Step 4: Season both sides of the chops with garlic salt pepper. Add to the skillet and brown well on all sides. Transfer to the roaster (does not have to be in one layer).

  • Step 5: Pour in all the sauce. Turn or move the chops to make sure they are coated with the sauce. Cover with roaster lid and refrigerate 8-24 hours.

  • Step 6: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  • Step 7: Place the roaster in the oven and cook for about 1 1/2 hours or until very tender, I bake uncovered for the last 30 minutes (for thicker-cut it may take 2 hours or a little more).

  • Step 8: Serve the sauce on or with cooked rice or noodles or serve it separate in a bowl. DELICIOUS!
