I pan-fried one chop for my picky daughter in case she didn't like the glazed one. She never did the un-glazed one! We ALL enjoyed this recipe and agreed that this sauce would indeed be good with meatballs in the crock-pot on Thanksgiving or Christmas. I did use slightly less mustard and cinnamon, in case the kids thought it tasted weird, but there was no need to alter this recipe. Delicious! We're having this one again!

My 13 year old son who rarely eats more than a half of a pork chop fixed other ways, inhaled the entire chop. I highly recommend grilling a 20oz can of pinapple rings to serve with the pork chops as directed with the recipe. I placed them around the platter and then the pork chops on top with a small bowl of the sauce in the middle. It made for a pretty presentation. I served them with rice and baby sweet peas. A big hit!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Steelers-Barbie from Best pork chop recipe ever! Best pork chop recipe ever! I used regular yellow mustard, used my favorite bbq sauce and added brown sugar, added 2 cloves of minced garlic, a little cayane and red pepper flakes just to make it a little spicier! Everyone I have made these for rants about how delicious they are and begs for the recipe! Even the picky eaters! Without a doubt part of my husbands favorite meal! =)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tiffany0615 from I absolutely loved these chops! I absolutely loved these chops!!! I bought a pork tenderloin and sliced into 1/2" thick chops and followed the rest of the instructions. These were with out a doubt the best tasting pork chops I have ever had. They simply melted in my mouth. I didn't even want to share with the company we had over after tasting them. WOW!! I will be making these again and again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DinnerPartier from This was a wonderful recipe and I would definitely make it again! This was a wonderful recipe and I would definitely make it again!! The pork chops were tender and very flavorful. I served it with some rice and grilled pineapple rings. The only problem I had was that I would brush on the the sauce and then when it came time to flip them the pineapple pieces would fall off. It was very good though and everyone loved it!!

I added red pepper flakes (we like it a little spicy) and had to use Honey & Hickory Smoked BBQ sauce by Kraft. Instead of grilling, I pan fried the pork chops first with S&P, then added the sauce to the pan to allow to simmer together for about 30 mins. Excellent this way. Next time I'd lenghten the cook time a little bit to make the chops more tender.
