Easy Brown Sugar Pork Chops: Comfort on a Plate
Some dinners aren’t just meals—they’re moments. The kind that happen while kids are doing homework at the table, someone sneaks bites from the skillet, and the house smells warm and sweet. These Brown Sugar Pork Chops became one of those quiet family favorites in my kitchen almost by accident—and now they show up on our table far more often than I ever planned.
I first made this recipe on a busy weeknight: pork chops in the fridge, very little time, and zero energy for complicated prep. A simple brown sugar glaze, a quick sear, and a short bake produced some of the most tender, juicy chops I’d made in years. Sweet, savory, slightly sticky edges, perfectly juicy centers—they quickly became a family staple.
