Ingredients

• 4 pork loin or rib chops, about 3/4-inch thick

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle both sides of pork chops with salt and pepper. Place chops in an ungreased shallow baking pan. Top each pork chop with an onion slice and a lemon slice. Mix the brown sugar with the ketchup and spoon over all. Cover and bake for approximately 20 minutes.
