Why This Recipe?

Hello Friends! I have a great quick recipe for you today! These easy Brown Sugar Glazed Pork Chops are made in a single skillet which makes clean up a breeze.

They can be made in a single skillet which makes clean up a breeze. I like to make these when pork chops are on sale and I usually serve them with a salad and rice or potatoes.

What Pan to use for Skillet Pork Chops?

I love to use my cast iron skillet for this pork chop skillet dinner, but a regular frying pan works great too!

We had a busy weekend and one thing I love about this meal is that it does not need a lot of ingredients, and leaves you with little cleanup! It's all about making the most of the time.

Main Ingredients for Stove Top Pork Chops

Pork Chops - these can be boneless or bone-in. Look for a chop that is at least ½" thick.

Onions - I use white onions because they are slightly sweet, but yellow onions would also work.

Ketchup - Surprise! Not an ingredient you would expect, but it adds a rich tomato flavor to the sauce.

Brown Sugar - This will bring out the sweet and tangy sauce that makes these pork chops so flavorful.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
